Licensed Contractor

[Jasmyne M.]

I am currently working on a property where I keep running into issues about hiring a licensed contractor with the city building inspector. The guy that I have hired has his occupational license but is not a licensed contractor. I am tired of dealing with the issue of hiring a licensed contractor (because they are usually so much more expensive) and I dont want to deal with the headache in the future. So, I am now I'm thinking about adding licensed contractor to my portfolio (in addition to already being an attorney and having my real estate license). Are there any other investors that also have their real estate license and their contractors license? Thoughts BP?

 It's as if you see no value in hiring a licensed professional. I'm curious what you'd think of someone hiring an unlicensed attorney for their legal work.
