I do this a lot. But thing about this approach is that you have to have a certain quality and quantity of gear in your studio to make it worthwhile.

I also believe that it is incredibly important to work in professional, commercial studios early on in your career. You learn so much so quickly that way, and lots of things sort of soak in that you might not even be aware of immediately. In many ways, I'm very glad I started recording before the advent of the home studio.

Once you've had some experience in pro studios it really helps in how you approach setting up and working in your own home/project studio. So I would say again that I think your plan is right on the money. Do a track here or there until you find the people that you feel really do it for you. Then over time you can build up your own studio to the point where you feel it would be worth it to hire in an engineer to freelance on your gear.

If you want that major label sound, you've really got to have a pretty good gear list to make it happen. For now, you are more likely to get that sound by renting time at commercial studios, in my opinion.
 
this studio would solve everything

this is the studio that would solve everything for me. the sounds from a lot of the records i admire come from this studio, most of the rap cd's that i admire come from out of this studio. it's really costly so i would have to be certain that my song has a lot of potential before i think about walking through those doors. the gear list is phenominal, and the client list is nice also, being that it's mainly catering to my genre of music.
