Seems like @J Scott has a great reputation here. Will definitely have to check out his book and more of his stuff. Thanks for the responses everyone. 

@Aaron R.

How lucky my does it typically take for each flip from acquisition to sold? 

@Brandt Smith agreed, opportunity costs are huge... highly overlooked. Time is money. Enough said. 

@J Scott

That makes sense. Seems like it should be self-evident. Just unsure of how much each hour is going to be worth at this point. I'll Look into your book. Thanks for the response. 

@Tyler Deuel 

That definitely helps! I appreciate you mentioning hiring the contractor to learn from. 

@Ben Wendt

Thanks for mentioning J Scott's book. I'll look into it. 

Thanks to everyone for the responses. 

@J Scott Hmmm... I'd appreciate if you could explain a bit. On the bigger pockets Instagram there was a picture of a fix and flip and it mentioned what they did themselves and what they hired out. 

Either way, I would think it pays to have some knowledge of homebuilding to know if who you hire is doing things correctly. 

I know there are multiple ways to go about this, apprentice for a real estate investor? Work for a homebuilder? YouTube from reliable sources? Books? - How important/necessary is this aspect? 

Appreciate the response. 

I understand that starting out, a lot of fix and flippers do some of the work themselves and hire the rest out. I'm wondering, if you were to do this at scale, would you still be doing some of the construction yourself, or would that not serve a purpose at scale when you could be going out finding deals, marketing, ect?

I'm looking forward to bring my enthusiasm, desire to learn, and hustle to your fix and flip projects!

Good answer, I like that. And I agree. I don't think the words I wrote portrayed exactly what I was trying to communicate. 

I asked the question because 20, 30 years from now does matter. If you're honing a craft, I'd personally like to focus on the one that is going to be relevant in all circumstances and economies. 

No I'm not overthinking. You don't know what else I have going on. I don't make any announcements until the job is done.
