Do you pay yourself when you manage or work on your own rehabs??

[BOB CRANEY]

I have always only made money when i sold a rehabbed property. I occasionally enjoy doing certain aspects of the renovation myself but never have paid myself the equivalent wage associated with these different parts of the project. In a similar vein i have never included a GC/project management fee as part of my costs even though i have always run my own jobs. I am incorporated and purchase all the properties in the company name so i guess i could pay myself on a W@ type basis for this kind of arrangement but ji wonder if anyone else is doing it this way. Unfortunately i have a regular full time job, if i was able to pay myself along the way during a rehab then i may be able to ease out of the job without feeling pinched with no income for several months until a rehab is sold or rented.
