How to become project manager?

[Clara Brashear]

I want to start flipping as well as be able to do my own contracting work. How does one begin to learn about being a project manager/contractor without needing a license? Is there a way to be involved in a project and getting experience/knowledge before giving it a shot on my own?

That will depend on the state, right? Texas doesn’t require a GC license, though some cities might.

I don’t know all 50 state’s laws on contracting so I can only speak from a CA standpoint but I find it hard to believe that any state would allow just anyone to take money from a consumer to perform the general construction tasks and have zero oversight or regulations as so much can go wrong. It’s not as simply as one selling ice cream to the public.
