Using contractors for every step of rehab on long term properties
Is it feasible or even smart to use contractors for every step of the rehab on a long term investment property? I know several people would agree that doing some of the work myself would be smart but I just don't live close to many of these investments. Another thing is that im a bit of a newbie when it comes to repairing and rehabbing buildings.
Im not looking at doing house flips but would like some rehabbing done in order to hold onto the properties for the long haul. Some of these investment properties im looking at are about a 2 hour drive away from me.
So what does the BP community have for suggestions on this matter? Do some of the work myself or let the contractors do all the heavy lifting for these distant(ish) properties?
