Refinishing floors by yourself for a rookie like me?

[Cody Barrett]

Shoot it is expensive to have someone come in and refinish floors.  I never had to get a quote before and I had a GC come in today and check out my plans.  He actually told me to scale back a bit and not renovate as much because of my overall goals and what the area will give me in return...  He is also a landlord and gave me some solid advice about the general business which was super kind.  

He seems very honest and personable which through me off lol... an hour and half of chit chatting but it was great. Anyway...

I am expecting a high number to come back in regards to the hardwood floors under my carpet.  They look wonderful and would really push my rent up another 100 bucks along with some minor updates to the kitchen and bathroom (faucet, fixtures, vanity, toilet, paint cabinets, etc..)  

So:

Ive never done projects before as this is my 1st home ever.... BUT I would love to learn and become handy.  So should I jump into refinishing the floors by myself w/ some help from family (who have done them before in their homes) and let them do the other stuff to save some coin?  

thanks so much BP. You guys have helped me so much in my journey!
