DIY or Contract out ?

Hope everyone’s doing well today!!

When first starting out, let’s say you get a property that needs updated but no major repairs and ya plan on living in the property....Would you suggest contracting out or doing the work yourself?

Would love to hear some good/bad experiences :)

@Sebastian Madariaga - my first full flip was a house we purchased and lived in, prior to kids. Don't do the rehab yourself if you have kiddos. It is a good way to learn and understand basic things. Now I am a firm believable in letting the experts do what the experts do. My time is more valuable then what you pay for most things and the subs are going to do a better job.  Pros and cons to both. I am glad I started the way I did and learned a ton but also glad to be wise enough to hire everything out on our flips now.
