There are a few issues with doing it yourself. Firstly, you have to find all your own trades. That can be a struggle for some and trusting who you get. Secondly, the job will often take longer as a builder or reno company tend to line all the trades up so it's quick. When people do it on your own they tend to get one trade, then organise the next trade then the next so it spreads the job out. Thirdly, if you go alone some trades will just do exactly what you tell them to do even if they know it's not the best way to do it or down right wrong. You might get good trades who will help guide you through the process but some guys will just expect to be told exactly what to do. That's where experience comes into it. There are a number of other little things but they are probably the biggest hurdles. Sometimes you will get lucky and have a very smooth easy reno, other times you'll wish you paid to get it organised.
