I hired a real estate data consultant as well and now I am currently in the process of closing my 1st investment property.

Hey guys, the popcorn ceiling in my place has been painted over and is hard as a rock, I can't do it myself (found that out the hard way) and am now looking to hire someone to get it done.

That can be a fairly modest cash investment and start bringing in passive income (by hiring people to run the kiosk). 

Should I hire a GC to walk through every property with me, or is this something manageable on my own?

I keep hearing people say they practically hire bouncers who are big intimidating looking guys.

I guarantee you stop at 10 sites, one of them is going to hire you to pick up roofing nails, wheelbarrow concrete or sling bricks. 3.

Juts like you don't need a Contr's license to work on your own property and hire subs.Whether or not you should hire an experienced Realtor or General Contractor to work your deals is an entirely different subject.

The contractors I hired out did well up until the last 3 weeks of the project.

Hire a PM if you don't want to be a landlord and enjoy the passive income. 

Hiring a PM company for few properties isn't worth it if you're new to REI.
