Hire a GC or sub the work out?

[Sharad M.]

Which in your opinion is a better option, hire a GC to manage the rehab or sub all the work out yourself? Specially for your first rehab and flip project?

[James Vermillion]

The main reason was scope of work. We did not have enough work for me to hire a GC. Also, when we looking at the idea of a GC, we found that in general, we could spend less money and have more control over the rehab if we sub-contracted it out ourselves. If we were doing a more complex, more time consuming rehab, we would look more closely at a General Contractor. Finally, I think it is more difficult to find a great GC, where it is not so difficult to find specialists. Hopefully that answered your question better.
