How many of you rehab your properties yourself?
Hi all, I'm quite new to investing and am jumping in feet first with a full time job and part time student. I've looked to Turnkey in the Midwest to get my first deal, but now am looking closer to home as that seems to be how most of y'all recommended and have done. I'm looking into the value added type of properties, but am reluctant to take most of my free time to work on the properties myself, especially when most properties are incredibly far away (my research pointed to Spokane with my budget) and me not being quite handy myself.
How many of y'all rehab your properties yourself? Is it efficient monetarily enough to exclusively hire contractors to rehab the houses into rent ready conditions?
