No one will sell you a general liability policy for less than 10 times the insurance a PA contractor needs, so...As you can see, pretty much the whole Pennsylvania GC registration licensing system is all smoke and mirrors designed to give the public a cheap illusion of confidence in an army of bumbling handymen and to keep a second army of insurance industry lobbyists fat and happy.It's a bit different if you want an electrician's license for the city, and plumbing licenses, yeah, they're the real deal.There is absolutely no conflict between being a PA-registered or Pittsburgh-licensed GC and having a real estate license.

I agree with Wayne in that it is unlikely there is enough fat on those properties that both the winning bidder and you could mark up the sales price in order to sell to an end buyer.

And his lucky agent probably got a nice fat 3-3.5% of that!

A good coach could be the difference between paychecks and Big Fat paychecks!

Keep all that fat out of whatever you are trying to do.

Is it really that fat of a chance to be able to contact/ work something out with them?

So you want to have a fat cushion, in case.   

After talking more with our lender, we pretty easily pre-qualified for some fat rehab loan limits. 

@Marc Middleton, @Mark Taliercio & @Caleb Heimsoth,On this topic, look at this as if you were a BP Investor wanting to learn about REAL money saving strategies being shared by a Florida Mortgage Broker.We all know that the 3 points in home equity that the seller is offering to give away to ANY buyer agent that brings a qualified buyer is out there for the taking, like a low hanging big, fat, juicy apple...or Orange in Florida! 

Also, losing fat and weight through low carb/low fat diets and not gaining any muscle, left me looking like a stick.
