got out of flipping to new construction in our market in columbus ohio. licensed general contractor. when interest rates got high single family existing went down by 30% new builds sold at a 6% increase that year which demonstrated the desire and premium that new construction commands. never looking back. total control, rinse and repeat. we can get permits in 28 days. we can buy land cash in 21 days. we can build in 120 days to 140 days and keep moving. super scalable and easy and no risk. we build the same 2-3 Floorplans 

WA requires no license OR does so its not uncommon for a WA lender to jump into Oregon not knowing they need a license.

Hi @Shayan Sameer, I'm an investor and licensed mortgage broker.

In short - if you aren't licensed to do the work -  your services aren't going to satisfy the permitting agency.  

You may need a license to GC even on your own property in your area.

Have the loan properly serviced by a licensed servicer.3.
