Pittsburgh - Acting as own GC on first flip?
As a follow up to my last post I am curious to any thoughts and opinions on acting as my own GC. This will be my first true flip and the job won't be a complete demo or gut. The questions I have are, A - does anyone here have experience acting as their own GC when starting out? B - are there any risks or major drawbacks to acting as my own GC? Time is a big factor as I don't have time to do all the work myself, but I would have time to contract out the different pieces of work that I won't have the bandwidth for.
