Hey Jon, thanks for your reply. I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.

I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...

To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".

I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

If you're looking for a knowledgable, communicative and extremely organized handyman in northern Cook County, IL / southern Lake County, IL – look no further.

I'm not sure if I can post my contact information here and I don't want to violate the community guidelines, so please message me if you want to chat, or have my company bid any projects.

Hi there,

I own a handful of longterm rental properties in Chicago and have sat on an HOA Board for many years. After years and years of being frustrated by how tough it is to find honest, communicative contractors, I decided to start a Handyman/contracting business.

This is NOT a solicitation.

My question is – What are Property Managers / STR Owners / Investors looking for when they need a handyman and how are they finding them?

@Ronald Rohde The property is Flex, but is currently 100% rented. Feel free to DM me for more details.

@Samuel Eddinger done.

Hey John, happy to answer all this info and whatever else you need via email, but here are the cliff notes. By the way, we're happy to sell 100% of the RE, I just wanted to give folks the opportunity to diversify into business ownership.

Hi there,

I'm not on BP a ton, but I really admire this community. I am a small business owner with real estate as part of my overall strategy and I'm looking for advice on where to find a commercial real estate investor for a sale/leaseback.

I'm in the middle of acquiring a 30-year old company in Connecticut that owns it's real estate. I'm looking for a commercial real estate investor to purchase 90% of the real estate and 10% of the business. My partner and I would own 90% of the business and 10% of the real estate. This allows us both visibility into the financial health of the underlying assets.

I'm offering a 10% Cap Rate with a 10-year NNN lease.

We will be making five acquisitions over the next five years of businesses with owned real estate, and optimizing them into a larger parent company.

We're forecasting an estimated annualized CoCR of about 24% over five years.
