@Matt Hoiles, Getting a G.C license to do your own flips seems like a great ideal..., at first. You said that you are a "control freak" this and flipping is a not a good combo. The money made in flipping is the turn around time. If your stuck in the trenches hanging sheet rock, painting or some other type of trade then your not out finding the deals to keep your business moving forward. If you want to get a C.G license so you can manage the job site then you may be wasting your time. You don't need to be G.C to manage, most city's allow Owner/Builder to pull permits and hire subs. Having no construction back ground will make passing the test difficult. Of course there are classes you can take to pass but your time will be best spent studying the R.E investing strategies. I think I am qualified to give you this advise because I am a G.C and have been in construction for 30 yrs and I also own a R.E Investing Company. I've done both, I use other G.C's and I have also used my own crews to do work on my flips, it take to much of energy and time to manage my crews while buying/selling properties at the same time and I have been in the game for 30 years.

@Gregory Washington , As a Bay Area investor that does flips in Jax this sounds typical of the service industry that's there.  @Chris Carson is correct with the neighborhoods in Jacksonville but it's the numbers that count, correct? I have boots on the ground and can have one of my guys go by and take pics of the activity if you would like. Just shoot me a P.M. 

@Michael Huang, What task are you trying get done. I've been flipping Jacksonville for over a year. Handyman are short to come by for some reason. I have found that looking for a person that works in one trade helps. Most of the guys who claim to do everything are mostly good at 1 or 2 task. I am sure there are great all around handyman in Jax, I just haven't come across any. I am getting ready to return to Jax to run my job sites if you need any advice feel free to P.M me.

@Chris Mason, kudos on your keyword hook.

@Perez Leanne, feel free to reach out to me for any advice you may need.
