Question about fixer uppers

[Luke Mertz]

So I’m in high school and my plan was this:

Go to school and learn trades and get a degree then graduate and work a job while also investing. But my question is I’ve heard to do home repairs you need to be a master plumber, master electrician etc. Is that true that without a certification that takes 6+ years you cannot do repairs?

@Luke Mertz Unless you're pulling permits, doing complete plumbing and electrical rehab, or upgrading the panel you DO NOT need a license. You have the right to work on YOUR OWN property. The moment you work on someone else's property you should have a license. A lot of people will turn you down if you don't have one.

Would I do any of the above personally? No. Beyond installing faucets, vanities, toilets, or doing basic electrical repairs I'm not doing any of it. It's getting hiring out to contractors we have worked with before, ideally with a license, and general liability insurance.
