Using 100% Home Depot sub-contractors for a home rehab
Has anyone ever done a full rehab using The Home Depot or Lowe's sub contractors and materials?
In my newness to house flipping, I find this method to be more reliable than finding a GC on Craigslist. I don't have an immediate or extensive list of subs in my area whom I know and trust. I find a bit of comfort knowing that subs working under big box stores like Home Depot can't just skip town with my money and leave the work unfinished. I assume I'd be paying the subs through the store. Plus, I'd have a "boss" to report to regarding the work done by each sub contractor and therefore, accountability.
What's your perspective, experience, or words of wisdom in this regard?
PS. My long-term goal is not to work through Home Depot on every project. Maybe my first several until I get the hang of it and develop more relationships in my market.
