Would it be seen as some sort of unlicensed lending because I've scaled it up to be a large operation?

We can hire an unlicensed assistant - to assist us in our business, such as previewing properties, etc. 

The cheap unlicensed , uninsured guys .

I've heard that they are very diligent in finding unlicensed lenders and heard of investors that had to dump their portfolios for a loss.

I'm a licensed Realtor, they are both unlicensed contractors.  

First, if you "sell it now" and then continue to do the work you put yourselves and your buyer at risk as you will be acting as an unlicensed contractor.

If you had 26000 Square foot of open use, but there was a restriction on the Title for car use which states no unlicensed cars or junk cars, would that lot still be worth it's value?

when I was with the state of Oregon investigator who was interviewing me regarding unlicensed wholesaling in our state.. this was one of her question.. she says wait a minute this is not an investor they are not buying it.. they are just making an assignment fee.. also just putting EM down in their eyes is not equitable interest.. so I don't know Oregon seems that the way people wholesale is violating the licensure laws..

In many states it is illegal to pay an unlicensed person a fee, so make sure the deal is not structured that way.

I would suggest when trying to find a property manager to make sure they are licensed, in Ohio you have to be a licensed real estate broker to manager property for someone, there are a lot of unlicensed individuals that try to manage property, this is not a good idea as you will not know if they are knowledgeable of all the different laws that affect housing and if they do something wrong it would fall on you.
