Don't rely on the unlicensed broker cheerleaders on BP to give you QUALIFIED advice.

I’ve heard horror stories of folks using “unlicensed” contractors, but I’m all turned around whether that means business licensed or contractor licensed.Hope my question makes sense!

If you have an uninsured worker renovate your bathroom and it starts a fire (even for no reason of theirs), your insurance company will NOT cover the damages.Plus the next potential buyer for the home will check the permit records and see that the work was not permitted/licensed (you typically need a License to pull a permit) and there goes about 50% of the value on that square footage.....Generally, a licensed Contractor will deliver a far superior product than a Handyman or unlicensed scab.

But I do  have a website that will advertise wholesale deals for unlicensed wholesalers.

They are often motivated only to keep the monthly fees low, which they accomplish in the relatively short term by deferring maintenance on items they feel are less important, and by "saving money" using unlicensed and often poor quality vendors to make improper or inadequate repairs.

The moment home owner is hiring sub's, that's acting as GC, an unlicensed GC.

Wholesaling is, IMHO, nothing more than unlicensed brokering.

I would start by filing a complaint with the Florida DPBR here for unlicensed activity: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/file-a-complaint/It goes without saying to not pay a dime more, and make sure the keys/codes to the property are changed.

An unlicensed electrician might be cheaper, but cheaper usually means lower quality.

He is unlicensed, but better than any licensed contractor I have ever used (not exactly what you would expect).
