Yes, you need a wall. Otherwise what you have is a studio apartment, or efficiency.

To qualify as a bedroom you'll need a closet, not sure if you have that somewhere. Also I believe you'll need a wall separating the actual bedroom otherwise it is considered a studio. Just my opinion as an architect, not a realtor or appraiser. 

Yes, GC's are going to max out at what they can handle, but especially on a new build you'll need a GC. Most jurisdictions require a GC if you're not the owner, and on a new build you'll need someone to be there for inspections, etc. which if you're flipping without a permit you probably haven't encountered that.
