How to decide whether to use a General contractor or hire your own sub contractors?

[Sean Beyrouthy]

Hello all! I am an investor in Delaware county, Pennsylvania. I have acquired my first two rental properties over the last couple months and have been rehabbing them myself. I am looking to take the next step towards real estate investing which to me is buying real estate and being hands off during the rehab process. Does anyone have any advice on whether I should hire a general contractor to just run the whole rehab, or should I hire the individual sub contractors myself to still have some more oversight. I've heard hiring sub contractors individually can save money as well. Also, can anyone provide me with a scope of work template I can use to give to a contractor so they can bid the job accordingly? Thank you!

Running your own crew is a full time job, you will not be hands off what so ever.
