I'm semi-retired and he kicks in to help out.If I were younger and had many fingers in many pies and my time was tight, I would very much consider an outside vendor. 

I have donated more houses to churchs and charity than you have fingers.. so I understand both sides of the coin. our state its illegal to wholesale the way you guys do and the way the guru's teach it but I bet the guru will take your money even though they SHOULD know its illegal in the state the person paying the fee is working in.here is a snippet from our state department of real estate financial investigator a talk we had this week.

and I have 11 more like this going in Charleston right now fingers crossed though that's for sure..

That alone will reduce both overhead and finger pointing.After you get into more projects, you'll develop relationships with different contractors, and you'll see each ones' strengths and weaknesses.

Fingers crossed. 

Fingers crossed my friend! 

Us in California all cross our fingers for the power of appreciations our biggest advantage. 

And if you want to get technical about it, it's more accurate to talk in terms of a brand's net present value, as -- obviously -- a brand can't be directly converted to cash at the snap of the fingers.

You might as well stick your fingers in your ears and sing LALALALA while you're at it.

You can also keep your finger on the pulse and change your marketing tactics, adjust pricing and make all kinds of business decisions that you may not be able to do as well or as quickly if you are not involved on a daily basis.For me, this decision would boil down to opportunity cost and personal preference.
