When to seek General Contractor or Sub Contract out yourself

[Shawn DiMartile]

So when do you guys seek out a general contractor to do all the work on a property you are rehabbing and when do you prefer to contract out each job individually? I'm sure MAJOR rehabs will benefit from having a GC who can go in and complete the demo and sub contract out all the work to be done. But let's say you need flooring ripped up and replaced, cabinets and countertops refinished, new paint throughout, new paint on exterior, new doors and windows, and tile; do many of you go about hiring painter, window/door install, floor install, etc. individually? It seems much easier to find talented laborers to do each task at a decent price than to find that one GC that can get it all done.
