Hello,

I am currently located in the Denver, Colorado area, looking to start doing some fix and flips to generate some extra income and eventually transition to a full time real estate investor. 

One of the biggest limitations I am seeing in the fix and flip market, at least in Colorado, is the requirement of a registered contractor to be on the permit for a rehab project. I have experience in construction and rehab projects so would plan on doing a lot of my own work and subcontracting out the rest to save money vs the alternative of hiring a contractor to do the whole project. 

I'm seeing that a lot of the municipalities will allow homeowners to submit building permits, but will place limitations on residency requirements and property types (i.e., not allowed on townhomes or condos, must be primary residence for 1 year). I am weighing the benefits of trying to get my contractors license as I am experienced in construction, but don't think this would be an easy process and it would be ideally avoided. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get around these restrictions, or know which if any municipalities don't have these kind of restrictions?

Thanks for your help, always looking to make connections, so feel free to reach out to me directly. 

Hello,

I'm new to the Bigger Pockets platform having read a few of their books as well as a few others on the subject. I have a background in construction and renovations but am looking to make more connections and learn more about the industry. 

My interest is primarily in Fix and Flips but I am interested in learning more about all parts of the industry. My goal is to complete my first fix and flip by the end of 2024 and continue to get more projects under my belt from there. 

Please reach out to me if you'd like to connect, especially if you're in the Colorado Market. 

Thanks!
