They did however call for payment, but if they had the nerve to treat my job like a club and chill out on my job site while I have taxes, and mortgage payments to make monthly, they could never get me to write a check to them for any work they've done.

All that said, you need to really think about the classic high school experiences you will miss by leaving school early.If there is no proficiency exam in your state ignore all of the above, for reasons which have probably been repeated ad nauseam (and rightfully so).

Based on your post General Contractors are required to take an exam in South Carolina, but in New Jersey there is no exam; all you need is proof you have liability insurance of up to $500,000 and BOOM!

Just my 2 cents, hopefully at least one thing I said strikes a nerve for you!

I will be a licensed real estate agent in Los Angeles in a couple of months (taking state board exam in February) and I'm at the point where I need to write my business plan.

@James Halk You need to re-examine the cost of a condo in the University area of Houston.  

 have always enjoyed challenging widely held beliefs, probably because so many of them fall apart upon closer examination.

Examine their management agreement, check to see if there is an out clause if you are dissatisfied, make sure it spells out the responsibilities of the owner and the property manager7.

I've consulted two attorneys and a title examiner who've told me so and highly recommended I stay away from them.There are very few note cases where you know 100% what's going to happen.

While the case law I examined suggested that the mortgage would need to be reformed and that the foreclosure proceeding would have to be re-filed, if the court and the title company are satisfied with the issuance of a corrected deed, then that is good enough for me.
