GC vs Subcontracting When Flipping

[Ethan Neumann]

Hey everyone. 

I'm currently flipping about 2 properties a month. For those of you that are flipping 5+ per month or know someone who is, do you recommend starting to build out your own subs and manage the projects yourself to save money and eventually hire an in-house project manager or continue to use a GC so you can focus more time on finding deals and raising money. 

For context:

-I have pretty limited construction experience, although I'm learning more on each project. 

-I plan on scaling to 5 flip per month by the end of next year. 

-Currently get all my deals through MLS and wholesalers

-Some of my projects are heavy rehabs (adding bathrooms, removing load-bearing walls, etc), others are more cosmetic.
