San Diego - flipping my own home

Hi Everyone,

New "investor" here on BP. Listened to tons of podcasts, read The book on flipping houses, rental property investing and now currently reading the book on estimating rehab costs. Always had a fascination for real estate investing and now I find myself in a position to start.

Getting ready to sell my home here in SD because I'm moving to Nashville. It needs quite the renovation. After calculating CAPEX and other expenses it seems id get a better return investing elsewhere. I have a TON of equity in the home, but the loan I have is pretty new. Anyways I've decided to renovate and sell.

Ive created a SOW, and I'm just starting to get quotes on each project. (I will be hiring subs and managing the project myself). I don't move until mid June, so I figure that gives me about 9 weeks to finish construction before I list it on the market May 1st. 

I am curious if anyone has any licensed subs that they highly respect and would recommend. I am getting quotes for landscaping, ext. paint, int. paint, some rough electrical, cabinet/counters, deck work, carpentry, finish electrical, finish plumbing, and flooring.

also, if anyone has advice on getting materials cheap or anything other information they find valuable I'm all ears.

Thanks to everyone in advance.
