Spot on, as someone who has worked as project manager both for a fix and flip investor and for a A-rated(Better Business Bureau), Class A general contractor you hit the nail on the head, a true contractor (one can run his own business, schedule efficiently and effectively, not get in over his head and do all of this with a degree of professionalism) knows better than to finance a project, typically from being burned in the past.
