Where to start with a remodel?

[Michael Guzik]

Hey guys I am looking to acquire my first property via a house hack. I would prefer to do a value add opportunity and that requires fixing a place up. My question is where should I go, where should I look or who should I ask to learn more about this? I don't have a lot of capital so most of it would be DYI.... is that a good/smart thing to do or should I just hire everything out?

when i started my first live in rehab, I thought I was gonna do it all but quickly realized I was in over my head and called in contractors. luckily I had some cash . I guess it depends on your level of expertise and how big the job is. I would say if you actually have so.e money to spend that you should call a few contractors to get bids and see if they have any ideas that you hadn't thought about. when my contractors came ghat had a bunch of great ideas that i didn't even know were possible that made the house way better if you don't have money, don't waste their time though and just move forward alone as planned.
