Branching into construction from rentals

[Andrew Gearhart]

We have a number of SFHs, and tend to do extensive renovations to these homes prior to renting. Due to our social network knowing about what we do and how we handle our rental business- We get approached to help others (friends, coworkers, etc.) with projects ( bathrooms, kitchens, smaller remodels, etc.). Is this a natural progression in the business, or something that should be kept separated? Has anyone done this and can shed some light on pain points?

Thanks, Mark! This is good advice. I should probably add, my wife (who runs most of the projects) would be handling this arm of the business. Also, I wish tenants weren't picky- you would be surprised by the request we get...
