I have always had the question of whether to do the work on my own or to hire it out.

Target warehouse is hiring at $19.50.

This is without factoring in the cost of hiring a property manager (I do include mello-roos, solar costs, and ~10% vacancy rate - jeez these are expensive). 

Now I dont mind something 45mins away as long as I'm hiring out most of the work and can get picture updates often. 

This would allow her to hire out a property management company.

If it was something bigger or crazier, THAT's when I would hire it out (plumber, electrician, HVAC, etc.).

I hired a licensed Colorado surveying company to complete two Improvement Survey Plats two separate, adjacent fourplex's located in Evergreen CO.

The other thing to note is that if anyone is interested, I’d like to purchase a cost seg report on the property, as well as manage the property on my own through the end of the year before hiring a 3rd party management.

Ok you are dealing with a General contractor , who hires a plumber to do the work .
