Quote from @Hunter Hanlon Taylor: Hey, all, is anyone familiar with any good contractors near the Columbus, Ohio area who would be good for various updates I need done on my STR this winter? 

A full back office. 3 workbooks to use in the 40 hour cI get it just like any non certified or accredited  training.. not saying its bad. but its not a state license so not governed by any state and there is no NMLS registration required..

Quote from @Yvonne Wang: First time working with a contractor here.

As a result any “offering” must either be a registered securities offering, or qualify for an exemption from the required registration.

I’m looking to network with other investors and contractors who share a passion for the local market.

And a general contractor would NEVER sign a customers contract 

My wife and I are real estate investors based in Katy, and I/we are looking to connect with local investors, real estate agents, property managers, and contractors in the area.

Quote from @Paul Gupta: Hi, in California, For jobs requiring a license, there was CSLB (contractor state licensing board) which would give either a General Contractor license, or specialty licenses by trade (~60 specialties such as concrete, welding tile, ) https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/licensing_classific...My Q: does Maryland and DC area have similar requirements? 

But that's not a contractor I want to work with. 

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Be sure to tell your accountant that you may now need to file non-resident income tax returns in each state where you own property as well.
