Only use your handyman for items that do not require a licence to fix or require inspection by the city.  

Unless your local municipality requires landlords to have a licence, then you do not required any other permit.What you will need to do is familiarize yourself with the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board.  

I got my brokers licence in California mainly to have more control of my own transactions.The education was worth the effort, it was mostly real estate law which every investor should study anyhow.

My wife is going to be getting her real estate license for the obvious benefits - we can get access to houses instantly, make offers instantly, MLS access, save on commissions ect...Will she have trouble finding a bro...

GSMLS is very helpful but i'm trying to do either central ( as in New Brunswick , Perth Amboy & Edison ) And for north ( maybe Trenton and other urban sides )@Kevin Hill now with the NJMLS how on point are they because i wanna be able to check listings every morning and see any new ones so i can make offers and other things but it seems like i should just get my licence .

So there are actually two things at play here: licencing (of the person you are working with), and the source of funding (who is making the "yes/no" decision to wire your money?).

I am 19 years old and I recently got my real estate licence, ultimately, to get into real estate investing.

I have been dreaming and thinking about investing for longer than i can remember but i am wanting to get it started now since i have received my drivers licence.

Can you tell me what you pay for fees to get the license, to maintain the license, and other costs associated with having the licence.

The contractor must keep promises - when he breaches one - beware - don't let it happen again.Get references - with dates and addresses of the work done - go inspect that job, get name of supplies he has done business with.Don't take the first bid - get others - compare prices Get a time and material pricingLook at their licence, check with BBB and other memberships organization in the area.
