If he had background, connections, relationships with the local
trades, yes he could do well on his own. But if he had that, he
likely wouldn't be posting here asking about it.

If he wants an education, let him do it. But if he expects to save
money, he probably won't save enough to pay for his time.

I know people that have been very successful and saved a ton of money by
acting as GC. In every case, they were in the trades, or worked with a
materials supplier, or somehow had the right contacts. Everyone was lined up
before the first shovel of dirt was dug.

For the average guy, it is a daunting process and a full time job.
