Thanks to all of you for your input. Always good to have varying opinions especially from those experienced in the field. 

I am just starting out doing my own flips (working on closing on my first property actually) and I have been reading plenty of articles and opinions that flippers should not do their own work.  My situation though is that I'm a licensed contractor and the idea of hiring out work I am able to do just as quickly and cheaper as another contractor pains me.  I also know that I've had to go in and fix other contractors mistakes, so quality is another reason I'd be hesitant to hire out as well.  Right now I'm only taking on one property at a time so I'm looking for input from others, that if you are able to do the work yourself at the same quality level as a hired contractor does it make sense to do that?

Down the road I'm expecting my contracting business to build from just my one man operation to a bit larger, which would obviously change my flipping model, but I'm looking for some advice on the current situation I have.

Thanks in advance guys.
