Is it possible to rehab a house by myself and still make profit?

[Lucas D. Bubb]

I have been talking to people in my area (Lebanon County, PA) and I have been told over and over that contractors are too expensive in this area to make any profit when rehabbing a house. I have read J Scott's "The Book on Rehabbing Houses." It sounds like I can still make a profit if the deal is great enough, but I wanted some opinions from BiggerPockets members. Thanks for your time in advance!
