Given what you described (house hacking, FHA loan) a license will have little affect on your success in the first few years.

The best cities I've done it in are actually the more expensive one's because there's more willing of a seller to let me buy deep(as they're likely owning the house mortgage free) and every fix I do makes more than a 1x on it simply cause of the neighborhood.

My family of 6 live and own in a ranch style 3br/2.5ba house with completed bonus room upstairs in a HOA neighboorhood.

Would you ever consider doing a house hack?

Do you want to be a house flipper?

The house is in pristine condition with a top-notch kitchen I added in 2021, and it is located in a premier gated community northeast of Orlando.

For example, I just blew insulation into the dividing wall of a side by side 2 unit house.

I’m not trying to meet the 100 hour requirement as that requires me to time log every vendor that has worked on the house.

Good luck. :)I totally get it and in this case it works for us because we already have the loan closed on our next house we are moving into and it's not a VA loan.

I have a conventional 30 year loan on the old house(lived there for 2+ years) and private loan on the new one for now.
