However it still has all of the necessary licenses and approvals from the state to operate as an insurance company.

Here is my two cents: When hiring a contractor for substantial renovations, start by researching local licensed and insured contractors with solid reviews.

Hi @Shayan Sameer, I'm an investor and licensed mortgage broker.

Quote from @Alan Mills: Got an inspection objection back with something I’ve not seen on my other rehab’s (this is a Colorado property):“The seller agrees to have a licensed plumber install external sewer cleanouts per city code and scope the sewer line ensuring its integrity.”This was a full interior/gut rehab and almost everything is brand new.

As a licensed contractor, I’ve worked with expediters and know how essential your role is. 

I've been in real estate for 18 years, am a licensed Realtor and have owned several rental and flip properties in Texas & Hawaii.

In addition to Nathan's great recommendations, I also suggest verifying that the PMC is licensed.

.#1 I would call the city rentals department directly and ask if the seller's license will remain active until the day yours becomes active.

I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

I am starting real estate school soon to get my license but here in Florida I was told I can buy as an investor without.
