Handyman! The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

[Nash Garceau]

Hello BP family! 

I wanted to start a conversation about the qualities that make a "great handyman". 

For a brief backstory, I grew up in a family of general contractors and am now creating a business for myself. The vision is to be a handyman specifically catering to investors and investment properties. Providing investors with a handyman that understands the importance of ROI, market rents, CapEx, etc.

Seeing as BiggerPockets is the watering hole for all great investors (A.K.A. my target market), I wanted to ask directly what works and what doesn't in regards to handyman services. What has made the experience feel light? What has made it feel heavy? What red flags do you look for? 

Looking forward to the views of the BP community!

@Nash Garceau Most people will tell you what you want to hear if you ask a question. You only really know based on actions. A great way is to ask around about them but nothing beats working with them on a small project and seeing how it goes.
