Do I need a licensed contractor?

I'm getting into house flipping and rentals. I don't have much experience in construction, but my brother-in-law does construction for a living and he does quality work. However, he isn't a licensed contractor. Should I think twice before approaching him to parter with me in flipping venture, or is it ok that he isn't licensed? Thanks

@Blake Palmer If you do decide to do the flipping with the use of family be sure to write up a contract and discuss it with your brother-in-law. It can feel awkward, but it will help you out when challanges arise.
