Hire GC or Not

I have flipped 3 properties so far this year. 2 have went great and 1 not so great. I work full time and would like to rely on a general contractor to manage the projects but I just can not seem to find one that is motivated to get work done on time and up to par. The 2 projects that I have had success on I GCed the whole job myself. The downfall is it is time consuming, did not meet rehab timeline, and it is not ideal when you are trying to scale a business. 

I am looking to close on 3 more deals before the end of the year. 

Would you look for other GCs ? Would you just GC the jobs yourself ? What makes you successful when you are running multiple projects at one time and can not be on the job site everyday ? 

All advice is welcomed !!!!
