Flipping my home to start my real estate career

[Anya F.]

I am self-employed, own my home, 100% equity, needs some repairs and owe back taxes that I pay monthly. I would like to flip my home to purchase a few foreclosed properties for investments to sale and make b&b's. Any advice? Do I need a builders license to flip? Also, besides checking into zone ordinances do I need a real estate license to run a hotel (b&b)? As we speak, I am currently pursuing my Business Degree. Trying to find out the best way to handle this situation. All advice is very appreciative.
