flips in washington state

[Shahriar K.]

I was just randomly reading a site and read that in Washington state if you want to sell a flip property you need to have a contractor certificate or you have to hold on to the property for a year before selling it. Just wanted to see if this was true and how are you getting around this rule.

Did you read what you linked? 

Here is the relevant old language of RCW 18.27.010:

And here is the additional new language:

Under the new law you may either :

1. Be a licensed general contractor

or

2. Hire a licensed general contractor and not superintend their work.

 Right! I think you're missing my point. Previously you had to have a GC on title and now you can hire one. That's a wonderful thing to those of us not doing our own work and although I may not be able to "superintend" the job, I am certainly in charge!
