First rental income purchase

[Erick Smith]

I just started the purchase  process  for a 2 flat building in Chicago... I have a 203k rehab loan and was told that I need to find a license contractor to do the work... All of the major  system  are in working order and the place just need cosmetic work in the kitchen  and bath......I would like to do the work myself is there any way around hiring a contractor or ways to cut the cost!
