Can anybody recommend a good cleaning service around the Blue Island Illinois area.

You can perhaps pay for them separately based on each one's condition but this should be a blue book value, not an income-based value.

I’m wearing a blue polo and cape cod hat

I can look at the data until I am blue in the face, nothing beats first-hand experience.

You're in a small town, look into the social scene for small towns.To do this consider joining the Moose, the Elks, the Eagles, the Rotarian, the Free Masons, the Chamber of Commerce, etc...Figure out which ones are more business oriented vs blue collar--and mix and make friends....most are just drinking clubs so you have to be 21), be accepted and pay a yearly fee.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2hwqok

Hi Taylor,Free work in return for lowered rent might not be such a good idea.It would be Smart to go in person and see examples of the person's previous work (of the same kind you want done).I've seen (for example) gypsum board punched holes replaced that were  -->99.999% Invisible<-- and on the other hand, tub work by the same individual that was "childish" at best.I've had other instances of Handymen describing their work in various glowing terms, and according themselves with various (made up) glowing titles (master this, and certain grade experts)--claiming unbelievable past projects--who were no-shows or no-finishers.It's best to understand what the repair needs yourself, such as "Blue Board" or "Purple Board" and sealant XYZ vs just relying on statements such as I have done these for years--yes that may be true, but at what quality (if quality counts to you--it may not).You also may want to spec that you want the area left Broom Clean when the work is done, and make sure to provide a dumpster if there will be large demo taking place.Good Luck!

If so, I remotely manage my two short term rental cabins in the Blue Ridge, GA area and would be happy to share any insights if you are wanting info on self management!

You can get in with a diverse skillset (blue collars have a ton of synergy with real estate) that doesn't necessitate a degree.But with that said, let's be clear. 

West Jackson   you have C class blue color pretty tough to manage area of rentals  South Jackson  you have nicer predominately homeowners in north east and north Jackson but the value between the neighborhoods can be substantial yet the demographics are all the same. .. so within the same race there is neighborhood segregation .. just like older NE cities that segregated by European ethnicity  IE Germans lived here the Polish lived here the Jews lived here the Italians  lived here.
