So what the people who have answered may not realize is every states laws are different on this.

(and there are lots of people here to offer advice!)

I was fortunate to meet some phenomenal people in Orlando a few weeks back at BPCON23! 

I personally think it's easier to get a general contractor's license (especially here in Chicago - it's almost sad how easy it is), but that just means there are a lot of bad contractors.Almost all states require architects to take a state licensing exam and need to have a bachelors degree in similar field to even take the test.I found for me, if I can just find people who are really good at what they do (and enjoy it) I can let them do that and I can just focus on finding deals and building the team.  

@Bernardo CunhaI would guess there are less than 10 people on BiggerPockets who would invest overseas with someone.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

But instead, a few people with their agenda pass policies that stand in the way.

I look forward to connecting with a great bunch of people who are all striving for FINANCIAL FREEDOM & GENERATIONAL WEALTH💰🙌🏼

Would like to try and expand our services but not sure what else is needed, because I know one of the main questions I hear other people asking is "are they licensed and insured/bonded"  - The state we are in is South Carolina. 

It always helps to understand supply and demand.A few years ago people in this forum were saying Austin was on a rocket ship to the moon because of all the tech jobs moving in.
