Doing the work Yourself

Should a landlord do repairs and maintenance himself (or herself)? I have read opinions, and spoken to landlords whom feel strongly either way. Some say, "you must do repairs yourself and save money". The opponents say, "its not worth your time and energy." If I have another job that pays more per hour than it costs to do the repairs/maintenance than why would I forgo hiring someone else to handle the work? MikeOH, in your book you have a a strong opinion in favor of the former. Anyone care to respond?
