-Florida Requires Property Management Companies to be licensed by the State??

As a wholesaler, I am a self-represented investor, and as long as I disclose in my cover letter to the seller that I am a licensed agent, self-representing, that I have a financial interest in the transaction, and that I am not representing anyone else in the transaction, I can do wholesale contracts.  

Now If your home is in the proper district, and everything is up to code, can the city deny me a permit because they want to?

Once completed you take the licensing test, which was also a simple process to sign up and take.  

I got my RE license in Louisiana to make it easier to find investment properties. 

Although we don’t anticipate any issues, we had a proper agreement of sale, mortgage and note, and we are closing with a title company (so there was a title search and we have title insurance) and will be using a loan servicing company to avoid any confusion about payments, balances due and taxes.

Quick rundown on me, my wife is a licensed agent and me and my business partner plan on buying our first deal as soon as we find one.

Would a proper comparison be rehabbing a house yourself vs hiring a contractor?

Hire licensed contractors , throw out the low bid .
