Should I hire a consultant for remodel design?

[Anurag Bhalla]

So I pulled the trigger on my first flip last week. A newbie question for all the experienced Rehabbers here -

Do you usually hire a consultant for determining how to best use the space? I have come up with a plan myself on which walls to open, what all to relocate, how many cabinets to place etc but I want to be spot on with these decisions. Don't want to have a duh! moment half way into the project. Do you hire a professional for the remodel design or do you just go by your experience and intuition?
