Fantastic video. What a beautiful smile Nicole. You have pretty much defined my world. I'm about to graduate with my construction management bachelors degree, I'm a certified carpenter, and am planning on getting my real estate license as well. Triple threat in certain regards, but risky in certain ways as well. Gotta play the cards right. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in getting into the construction sector to start by getting their OSHA 30. They go through the entire OSHA 20 CFR 1926 standards book. At the core, construction is all about safety. Safety in the design and engineering, safety in the building process, and safety in the final product leading to the certificate of occupancy for the client.
I wish this is discussed more. I'm in the process of getting my gc license in Florida. Like you, I am also full time flipping and have ran into several time issues with other gc's. Thank you for the video!
Hello I am in Florida as well and I'm interested in getting my GC license as well. Is there a test or some kind of proof required to show you have been working with a GC and have experience?
@@ketlyjean-pierre1528 yes there are 3 different test you must pass with a 70. There are other requirements you must submit with your application and test scores to the state. You do have to show experience either through work, college, military or a combination. All requirements are on the Florida DBPR site
Becoming a GC has advantages but there are tremendous downsides! As you mentioned the responsibility of the title... It can not be overstated! Also, you can talk the talk and especially these days ; be able to explain & visualize the various work disciplines... But it's not a substitute for real hands on experience... Your back to trusting these subs I would not recommend this to vast majority of investors I've met in my over 20+ years.... Unless you come from one of the disciplines in the business More importantly ( many current GC’s lack this) solid project management skills and a business acumen... You may be opening the door to not other than getting sued... Be careful with this one ! For most of you just pay the money to others and let them assume the risk! Treat it as an expense
Still better to learn this stuff , because a lot of "experienced" GC aren't good at all. I've seen too many court cases throughout many states and the proof is in the legal data with these GC.
Glad I found your TH-cam Channel, im in Md. I signed up for a course to help me become a GC. Been working in Construction as Carpentry 5 years. Definitely will be tuning in for more if your content.

Hi Nicole! I want, eventually, to have my own business that combines real estates and construction. Thus, I need to get RE and GC licensed: I would like to invest in cheap or foreclosure properties that require some level of restoration or renovation (contractors license) fix them, and rent/sell them for profit (real estate). When I watched your video it gave me motivation to work on that GC license. However, in order to get the GC (in California) I need to become a journeyman 4 years in experience. Did that apply to you? I mean, you had to work as a construction worker for around four years to get your license or was there another way? Thank you!
We are licensed in Philadelphia. All of the links for GC training are in the description of this video, including Clicksafety and other resources for getting your license in California.
I want to invest into more homes located in the suburban areas surrounding Chicago, if I get a GC license in the city of Chicago..will I be able to use that same license while doing rehab projects in those surrounding suburban cities? How does this work in philly? I just want to setup everything correctly to get started. Should I start with the city of Chicago to start the GC business structure.Thanks in advance
@@NicolePurvyExperience yeah it did a little extra research and it looks like Chicago is the same way. I would have to get licensed in each individual suburban city I’m doing work in. Thanks for the reply, I luv your videos.
I sure hope you didn't miss it back in February but don't worry when the dust settles so to speak we will surely offer it again. Keep up to date by signing up for the email list at betterthansuccess.com
95% of the flipper, get rick quick video's are loaded with garbage but this one has pretty good info. In VA, like many other states, the type of license you have dictates the size and type of jobs you can do. A Class C is for jobs under $1000 and requires 2 years of experience. A class B is for jobs up to $120K, 3 years experience, A class A is for projects over $125K requires 5 years of experience along with construction management experience. Class A & B all require exams and net worth/money in the bank. For most people, the exams are not as simple as show up and take the tests, they require some studying. It's not like someone can just go the the state board and walk out with a A or B license.
Good morning smart and beautiful hey I'm in a partnership with my older brother hes a licensed electrician and has a general contractor license also but we don't have guys to start the general contractor business
@@112stace that's fantastic. You can join our virtual Q&A this Thursday 7pm eastern and we'll see if anyone on the panel has resources for you. It's free → betterthansuccess.com/qa
99.9% sure this female is far away from having the necessary knowledge to be a competent general contractor. You need at least 5 years on the trades/field and be in charge of complicated projects before you can run a full project. A Licensed General Contractor is able to complete a project safely and on time with the proper codes, licenses and insurances to employees. I have never met a person with a GC licensed that didn't work on the trades for a few years that can't be exposed within 2 minutes. They lack basic knowledge, skills, leadership, connections and safety standards. Stop listening to nonsense.
@@NicolePurvyExperience Sure buddy. Can you do the work yourself that you're running? I have a feeling you can't even swing a hammer, don't know your codes and only run small insignificant projects that you just fund. Your lack of knowledge on the subject is glaringly clear. Please stop teaching nonsense to people.
