Hi,We need to do start project and we will be hiring Licensed Contractor but we would like to some work done by Unlicensed Contractors( Handyman).Do I need to take Workers Comp insurance ? 

@John Thedford  I always wondered how a letter that spelled out the subtrifuge in direct mail marketing would fly.IE:Something like this.High  Home owner  ( it could go two ways one with those that actually have ability to close and those that are just acting as real estate brokers  IE a wholesaler who only wants to assign)ANy wayAs a high equity or absentee landlord in this area you going to get a lot of direct mail from those wishing to buy your home.. keep in mind many to most have no ability to do it.. they are simply acting as unlicensed real estate brokers they want to tie up your property and try to flip you contract for a fee.to enable them to do that they have to get a REALLY good price on it.. far below market value. its customary for these letters to have all sorts of different methods as in fake handwriting.. to little letters that looked like a 4th grader wrote them.. some will go on about how they just want to help.. ( if your in foreclosure most will say they were there before and just want to help)So to be brutally honest  I am a buyer ..

Owners of the house stated the unlicensed brokers put down ZERO earnest money.

@John Reid I cant speak to MN, but in NC, you can not pay an unlicensed person a commission.  

He called it "unlicensed activity."

I understand that I may not hire an unlicensed person to act as my contractor or to supervise persons working on my building or residence.

To me it sounds like you hire unlicensed craigslist people.

No unregistered or unlicensed vehicles, no RV storage.

I highly doubt a transaction coordinator would qualify as a real estate professional if they are unlicensed.   

In this case, the manager of the fund of funds would get compensated from their own syndicate.California does have a couple of exceptions to this for CA real estate brokers or CA registered "finders" but the transaction must be in California to qualify along with some other limitations.The risks of being compensated for referring investors to a deal without a securities broker-dealer's license are this: 1) The syndicate that pays an unlicensed broker may put their own exemption at risk, and 2) The unlicensed broker who accepts an unlawful commission may remain liable for the investment, or be subject to regulatory action by the SEC or a state securities agency.
