But the handy man is there for an emergency, broken window, sump pump problems, door won't shut etc.I want guys working on my houses that do not have that creepy factor, it sounds a little silly but my tenants are about 75% female college students so I can't have guys lingering around, they need to get the job done and get out.

Dear BP members,I'd like to start small European community here on BP.I spent whole my adult life in investment world building investment firms from scratch and growing them.

@Nate Ollmann Tenants , Toilets , Turmoil.. it's basically adult daycare.

I am a young adult looking for opportunities in the real estate market and am very willing to listen And to learn new things.
