Now that could mean the contractor has to get 40 different licences to work in a 60 mile radius .

@sam hadad, it is very difficult to acquire property through a Realtor unless you want to pay full retail retail price, that's why so many Investors have their own realtor licences or have that level of control.

Just got a letter today from the Div. of Corp in NY that my LLC's name is too close to one in NY, so we have to do a fictitious name under which we will do business in NY.

As far as plumbing im guessing i need to get a plumbers licence to do plumbing also electrician.

update: I spent more than $300 :-)I spent almost $600 on a direct mail campaign with Jerry Pucketts Market like a Wholesaler company.I spent $250 on my RE Licence course.

Being a guru is a licence to print money in this industry.

However here comes the questions - 1) how to physically find sellers and buyers.. is there a website or software for such things. ( free or charge, either)2) do I need any type of licences to start, I assume sellers and buyers may not know whether I am legit or just wanting to know details about someone's home?

It starts off great but always ends up similiar.So we have decided to get our PA realtor licence to grow our business.Can you please recommend us online classes that are required for the relator exam?

My question is about this fictitious expense report I made up and I'm wondering if this is how you guys would go about figuring out your net profit off a flip?

Using a fictitious example, I'm fine paying $500 for all the trim to get replaced, but when I see it takes 2 hours and $50 of that is material...I'd be much happier had I just got the invoice for $500...weird I know.
