I’ll be reaching out to some brokers to see if they wouldn’t mind working with and/or supervise me in my early days of professional real estate business.

In OR and WA, they require 2 years of full-time supervision by a principal broker.

This would allow me to renovate my own projects under my supervision and management as a carpenter turned general contractor (hopefully) and sell my own properties as an agent/broker, which means I have saved a lot of money in the project.What are your thoughts?

Flipping needs a good knowledge, fast & hard working ground staff & hopefully you can have an experienced  partner that can supervise on ground.

If you want more you can hire an agent to purchase the house and get contractors to perform the work under your supervision.

If tennats want changes you must insure that lisenced contractors are used and supervised by either th elandlord or their PM.Never allow a tennat to do any work, not even painting. 

The kicker to that is he will have to deliver one month's rent to the court within +-3 days and of course he will notAt that point the appeal will be dismissed and you would have to file for the Writ of Possession for the Constable to come out and supervise you and your crew(yes you will need bodies to move out his stuff).  

The caveat is that I am very good at organizing and very good at working without supervision or structure other than that I create. 

You do not want a PM what you need is a GC (contractor) to bid, estimate, supervise your reno not your property.

If you want this person’s services at your complex across town, the manager will need to take and pass the licensing exam administered by the California Department of Real Estate (or be supervised by a broker explained below).The rules are somewhat tricky for managers who do not live on the property.
