When to start outsourcing

[Jason F]

I'm a young rehabber and up until this point have done most of the work on my properties by myself. It takes me a long time but I know the work is good and I get it done cheap (the cost is my time).

But now I'm starting to realize it might be beneficial to have the work done by a professional, get the house done a lot quicker and move onto the next one. I've realized that while I'm working on a property, I get home at 8pm and spend absolutely no time marketing for the next property. Therefore I'm always either busting my *** on a house or looking like crazy for a deal.

I'm wondering when everyone decided to make the switch from doing the work themselves to hiring a contractor? Also, did you hire guys for each job seperately or just hire a GC to take care of the project.

I have a project now that I got a great deal on and it has the room to hire someone, it's just so hard to pay someone to do the work you know you could do.
