Hire a "Handyman" or sub each Job?

[Michael R.]

I am about to start a rehab on a duplex I own. I am wondering if I should hire one person/company to do the entire job, or hire out someone separate for each thing. In the past I did the work myself and this will be the first job where I am paying to get everything done. I am thinking I might get better prices if I hire the painter separate then the plumber as well as the job will get done quicker. This is for a real low end rental where cost is a major concern. Any thoughts?
