NEW achievement in my investing! Hired my first handy man...

After 2 years of being a Landlord and doing major rehabs on my properties ALL MYSELF. Today I hired my first Handyman to do a job that I know I could do myself.  He will replace a bathroom Sub floor in one of my duplexes... 

I will sit at Home this Friday morning (my day off) Drink hot chocolate and nervously wait for the job to get done.  This is an important step for in my investing career because I do not want to end up like my Mentor.  70  years old managing 23 units and is literally killing himself because he "cannot trust anyone to do the work"   not where I want to be when I am his age.  So I want to build my skill set of managing people rather than relying on myself. 

So I WILL hire people and I WILL like it! 

Just had to share this small success in my journey.    

AM I Crazy?
