@toymeister, although true, no disagreement, moving from across country to a house for retirement, the extra cost is in not wanting to spend time even if one has the ability, to be a general contractor.
Your point is a time/skill trade off to cost/price. If you have no general contracting skill, then its not worth the time, if I have the time, but not the skill, then it might be able to do it and get help.
So as you present the argument, there is a time/skill cost trade off, which results in the net increase in cost for any large construction project in the do it right the first time, versus yourself as the post construction HGTV anyone can do it rehab.
