Thank you both for the responses. I am clearly a newbie and I understand that. I do not believe I asked my question, nor explained my intentions for DIY very clearly.
I have YouTubed many DIY projects and have a few in mind to save some cash- refinishing cabinets, replacing fixtures, painting (outside of house), and a couple more.
We are going to subcontract our the work, as we have done the due diligence to get quotes from several contractors and found a few hungry guys who do good work and aren’t charging top dollar. I say this because, my father is a custom home contractor in the area and his subcontractors are too expensive to use for most simple rehabs- he admits this. We have found a reliable agent/realtor who has also given recommendations on subcontractors who he has worked with successfully.
I do not plan on attempting to perform any major aspects of the project as we have that covered. I will shadow as often as I can.
I understand the oxymoron Of saving more cash while trying to do something easy... there’s no silver bullet here.
To simplify, I am looking for easy things I can do to save a few hundred dollars here or there. I know that money might not make or break a GOOD deal, most of the time! However, I just want to personally add as much value to the partnership as possible.
Thanks for both of the responses!
