General Contractor License in WA - worth it?

[Sonia T.]

Hello,

Any of the investors in WA have invested in getting a GC license themselves? I understand there are some rules for flipping properties less than 12 months after purchase. I went to the L&I site and was surprised that there is just a way to make sure people shell out money for licenses and be "legit" according to the law, but no requirement whatsoever to guarantee that the work is any good, no continuing ed courses of any kind, unless I missed something ?

Any thoughts?
