@Adrian Suarez You need to learn how to leverage other people's time.
Investors don't paint every wall, lay every tile, or hammer all the nails. They pick and choose the most cost effective projects to DIY and hire contractors for everything else. Pay contractors accordingly and keep moving forward. If you're >10 months into a remodel something is seriously wrong even with a regular job.
