For most of the time, I was unlicensed.

Lots of trust goes into this unlicensed and unregulated business.. from what I can see.. 

I could write a book with all the horror stories that I know about from unlicensed contractor activity.  

Unlicensed activities; violation; classificationA.

Generally, realtors go in with credentials that an average, unlicensed person, does not possess.

Who cares is that unscrupulous unlicensed people take advantage of people - or - more of a Bigger Pockets outcome - that some kid who doesn't know he is breaking some real estate law does so and gets himself in trouble.  

The Agency is well aware that unlicensed “wholesalers” are rampant in our jurisdiction.

And during this installation, I mentioned I used a unlicensed guy on the last job, he shook his head and told me if something happened, the landlord insurer found out, they can deny the claim.

Some may even use unlicensed handyman type guys to do the renovation, which still can work if you are able to supervise for quality control and have the experience to spot quality workers (be they licensed or not) ... heck, I can't even begin to tell you how many GCs in my market use these same unlicensed guys regularly as subs on their crew, especially for paint, drywall, tile, counters, finished plumbing, etc. ... maybe not so much with rough in plumbing, rough in electric, etc. where licensed guys are used more. 

Has anyone done a HML to Conventional on an Unlicensed Building before?
