Hey @Brandon Leo - Congrats on starting your own handyman business! 

Most of us have passions that will never be followed, amazing businesses or ideas that will never be pursued… unless we can solve the Cash-Flow Freedom Equation, which ultimately leads to Time-Freedom.

Quote from @Jonathan Grzeszczyk: David Greene has a series (Sold, Skilled, Scale) that teaches agents how to run their business like a business.

Treasury predicts 32,000,000 businesses will now have to comply with these new laws starting in 2024!

@Christopher Alley we use a lot of private money in the rehab business, and I have never paid any up front fees. 

The homeowner insurance market right now is a dumpster fire with carriers refusing to write business and creating incredibly tight underwriting guidelines.

This has been our primary business for well-over thirty (30) years, but in California ONLY.Few posters here are attorneys, let alone licensed to practice law in Hawaii.

@Jesse Strengunfortunately I’m not familiar with property managers in that location what I would suggest is I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.My business partner is a regional VP for NARPM and I am happy to help if you need anything please reach outQuestions to Ask prospective management companies* What are your average days on market for vacant homes?

We're probably not going to take the risk if we're busy agents to play that game. 

Another avenue people seem to be exploring is buying businesses.
