Don't go hiring unlicensed people.

This is my understanding of Lonnie Deals and are now off the legal deal type list for investors (who presumably are unlicensed as a lender).Who in your view is currently lending on MHs who will be shut out by this bill?

It's hard to find honest and reliable "handymen," not to mention the issues you might have doing unlicensed work on electrical, etc.

My unlicensed tradesman working by the hour have done 100% better job than the licensed pros I have hired in the past. 

There are a ton of small time unlicensed (and some licensed) PMs that don't have any real idea of what they're doing.

Handymen generally (as in never) do not know the code as well as a licensed Contr.The problems are:1) he is working illegally and apparently having no issues with it. 2)You are complicit in this, knowing what you know. 3) The work may be flagged in the future for code infractions 4) You will not get full value upon resale for illegal work.And - 5) By focusing on money only and using an unlicensed scab, you are taking work/money out of the hands of those that made the right choice to get their license and do things legally.

To my knowledge no one in Ohio has been arrested for wholesaling, very few are being investigated for unlicensed activity related to wholesaling.

If so, disassociate yourself from the unlicensed brokers that violate the laws every day.

All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.

Unlicensed illegal firms are popping up everywhere to ultimately take advantage of unsuspecting owners.
