From landlord to flipper?

After a few years now of having multiple single family rentals, I've developed some experience with what is probably a good intro to flipping. I've also made connections with contractors. To date I've done (via contractors):

Plumbing overhaul

Roofing

Appliances

Drywall

Paint

Interior and exterior doors

Electrical panels

General plumbing

Water heaters

Decks

Flooring

Gutters

I'm probably leaving out a few things.

No major kitchen or bathroom remodels which are expensive of course, but I'm getting pretty comfortable with this stuff and have a good idea how much something costs with my guys. 

I think being a buy and rent landlord first and doing maintenance on your rentals over the years is a good intro into what it takes to flip. Case in point, the plumbing and other major stuff always took twice as long as they expected. 

I think it's a good way to get introduced to flipping, what do you think?
