. - Negative.If you have three years of credits (you don't even need a degree) from an accredited college level course and one year experience as a foreman you can apply for the license.If you have a construction related degree you only need one year of proven experience (doesn't have to be as a foreman) and you can apply for the license.Here is the application from myfloridalicense.comI'll see you at the "New Residential Contractor's Certification Gala Dinner" next year :)  Both of us with our fancy business degrees and all!

(I'm also a stay at home mom that homeschools -4 kids)You can get a trust that is cheap and use one for each property, but most likely, the way its written will be too vague and not do too much good.

Say I am an accredited investor and I want to allocate $500k for a type of investment that should be capital preserving; completely passive; and generates $100k annually in income. 

If you do an isolated transaction with an accredited investor, you may not need to do anything else, but if you are pooling funds from non-accredited investors, or your business starts to depend on repeated borrowing from private investors - you are in the business of selling notes as securities and you still need to comply with securities laws.

You do not want to get PM calls for tenants,toilets, and termites while you are trying to improve your stats and income with your career.If you are accredited worth 1 million or more etc. then some sponsored deals where you invest passively can come into play where you are not active in the investment.Good luck.
