And now you know why they are referred to as unlicensed brokers.

Our property management company used an unlicensed individual to do drywall work in one of our units.

However, certain lenders use loopholes to allow unlicensed brokers to be involved in these states.This is not an attempt to market myself btw.

You need to verify and update every year.In a condo especially, NEVER allow unlicensed and/or uninsured people to work on plumbing or electrical, the potential liability is too great regardless of insurance.

Most STRs are unlicensed.

Because the investor friend was unlicensed, I was unable to pay them a referral fee per RESPA guidelines.If your agent friend wants to be in the loop, why don't they have an agency agreement in place with their investor connection?

I am currently working on a plan to build up to the funds that are needed to get my first multifamily and I plan on starting unlicensed group homes to make that money as soon as possible.

Lawyer not sure where you are looking.. if this is CA, then you would be better off just using an agent... it would be easier to do and better for you as a buyer with the costs associated with everything to use an agent here (the one thing I would say against this is to maybe look into a probate deal on this, but still usually those are handled with agent(s)). 4. yes, work with someone even if it's just an unlicensed investor that is a mentor that can help you walkthrough all this!

I see from your link this text is from the defendant's attorney in response to the case, where the plaintiff alleges the defendant engaged in the unlicensed practice of law. 

If I was the listing agent for the house you were buying, and I was given a list of repairs by an unlicensed (inspector or contractor), non-ASHI member, I would let my Seller know that the list of repairs holds no weight.
