my biggest pet peeve with my handyman is that he is messy and doesn't clean up well...washed his paint brushes so much in the bath tub in one unit that it clogged the cast iron..to be fair the pipes were on their last months anyways, but now i specify to use the hose outside....most handymen will leave a mess until the last day, and then be pissed when they have to clean it up..it's better to just clean up your little messes every day..definitely let him know he is responsible for cleaning before he leaves every day...also, my handyman likes me to buy all items, as he never has money...this is good bc i am not getting upcharged for his services of going to the store...then again, everytime he needs an extra gallon of paint, or even one little fitting for pex, he calls me while i'm at work and can't do the job until i get him the piece....I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...for now on, it will be worth it to me to pay a little extra for their services of gathering all materials, and i will get quotes for materials and labor..but that depends on how busy you are i suppose...also i like to specify that they can get paid on Wednesdays, per job they have fully completed...i will not run out there on a friday night bc he needs money and finished a job..going in, they know wednesday is pay day for them for the work that has been completed so far..let me know if you have any questions, as i have worked with a few shady people!!

.--- and you'd better find out what the rules are before you lift so much as a single paint brush, because they are even going to tell you what colors you can use.

I did learn the comps in my zip code, bought a SFH property at auction, developed my skills with a hammer, paint brush, shovel, rake, lawn mower, got friendly with crawl spaces, learned to lay floors, patch walls, hang lights/fans, bought used appliances off CL, establish relationships with trusted trades, drafted a rental application and M2M agreement. 13 years and 26 SFH rentals later, my hobby cash flows life and is a great part-time time job.
