I worked in banking for years and was a Private Banker with securities licenses for a time.

I got so lucky - the first 3 years, during the depths of the pandemic, I had a perfect tenant, no problems, even during the storms. 

If you're a newbie working on a big project and don't have a lot of time to commit to it - it probably makes more sense to pay a GC to source materials and labor.If you're seasoned and have a good idea of what is needed / can adequately qualify subs then go for it.Another thing to consider - do you have trusted boots on the ground that can keep an eye on the project for you?

I was okay with consistent cash flow without much appreciation especially when considering a portfolio of property as opposed to buying one unit at a time.

At that time I will get the house cleaned up and list it on the market and when it sells I've agreed to get reimbursed my costs for reinstatement plus any other costs plus a fee for my efforts.

There's a saying around recognizing the difference of someone with ten years of experience with someone who has one year of experience they've repeated ten times.
