Does anyone know if the City of Redmond, WA in King County requires a business license to wholesale propoerties?

Potential to buy, tear down (or build up upon existing) to add 3 floors of apartments(8-10 units of 3 bedroom/2bth).

That said the tear down/build up of a mixed use would be new for me but it is in a market where I own 4 residentials now, a college town, and the small downtown area has had extremely good occupancy and high rent rates for many years, even during the market down swings.

Due to this I've decided to work 3 more years, build up a sufficient bank roll then quit my job as a Carpenter & become a full-time Flipper.Of coarse I have tons to learn before embarking on this but I have all the enthusiasm and motivation in the world!

I plan to begin my journey wholesaling until I build up some cash to possibly flip.

Purchase my own property to live in and pay approximately £400/month to live in a lesser quality house but at least the monthly mortgage payment for living in my own property are to pay for my own house, rather than £200 going to a family member (however this may also mean less money for me to invest in a rental property portfolio, which I plan to build up over time).Not sure what is the best way forward starting out.

Yes you forego the potential for equity buildup and appreciation.

IF you can forego bigger amounts of cash early on and build up decent monthly cash flow, it allows you to make bigger cash in the future as you've got the means to recycle your cash and can sit on some all cash deals instead of financing.

Would need to find the proper people to pitch it to and figure out how to pitch it...As of now my plan of attack is to build up a sufficient savings to quit my current job as a Carpenter and support multiple flips/year.

In my market a decent deal only comes around every few years so it gives me the time for my W2 to build up the kitty for the next investment.
