There, as here in atlanta, you will find that the best property managers for C properties are unlicensed, in the streets operators.

If you hire un-licensed, un-insured people you take on all kinds of liabilities - this being just one.

It's also cheaper to use unlicensed crews for painting, but it really depends on the project and risk exposure.

If you go the route of un-licensed contractors and short-cuts, and do a lot of rehab, then the inspectors will find out about you in a bad way.

You cannot be an unlicensed real estate agent.

As an agent you can not pay an unlicensed agent any part of the commission unless there is a some exception in your state regs.

Tile, carpentry, drywall, yea I dont care I will do it unlicensed.

Same thing with buyers and sellers (excluding many of the unlicensed brokers who don't care what they sign because they have no intention of honoring any contract). 

@Davido Davido Using an unknown, locally unlicensed, out of state builder, without any relationships with Subs, mandating a super tight and probably unrealistic budget, with an unrealistic time frame?

You can check what the rules are with your state for unlicensed assistants.
