Although I do not quite remember the wording, it is something like: If you are purchasing a property for a person other than yourself to live in ( this applies to flipping as well as landlords), and you are supervising the work being done, whether or not you are having work done by a GC, then you are acting in a role of GC and/or supervising or managing a project, and this requires YOU to hold a license.  

Thank you for your answer :-) @John Kent, I would lve to give a house a second chance but I will not be there to "supervise" the work renovation and dealing that from out-of-state will be a headache.

My lawyer told me that labor law in my state had a simple means test to identify employees vs 1099 independent contractors. 1) to you directly supervise and or give directions to the employee?

Get a solid track record of generating leads YOURSELF till you know through and through how, and why it worksThen test, scale tweak improve it.Now you know your system is solid, you turn it into a system by writing EVERY step of the procedure on paper and test it againNow you can hire an employee and have them do that task, Teach them, make them understand the hows and whys and supervise them, alwaysThis is what you need to do.

Same applies when you hire a contractor to build a house, as you control many of the materials you want, agree on a timeline and should supervise to make sure they are doing it right.See the contradiction?

She wrote, requires too much supervision lol.

I'd hire a competent carpentry crew and stay in close communication with them, have them video call you daily if possible, maybe even travel to KCMO to supervise.

He is also shopping for sub contractors for too long and leaves total only one or two of his low level workers un-supervised with no foreman 80% of the time.

What're some best practices when looking for a sponsoring broker or at least one that will "supervise" me at the start?

How can I supervise this?
