Men tend to be risky, and women think with their heads.

(Yes, they're all men!)

It means evictions and vacancy, maintenance issues, messy move-outs, and middle men.

You need to also take care of the following. 1.Fixing up a vacant rental so it can be rented out again.a.We had handy men to do most of this, but with 40 rentals my husband and I had to pitch in a do the labor ourselves as well.b.I would paint the house and garages.c.Husband would fix the repairs inside2.I would take care of the tenants.This entaileda.Taking care of advertising the homes (usually we had more than one vacancy at a time)b.Taking phone calls and screening tenantsc.Scheduling open housesd.Staging the housee.Interviewing the applicantsf.Making sure I double checked their application formsi.Criteriaii.Employersiii.Verifying funds and income3.Typing up the lease and making sure they understood the lease4.Then making sure the Tenants abided by the lease agreement5.Paid their rent on time6.And sent that Notice to Quit for Non Payment of Rent the very first day rent is late.On top of that I did my own evictions and I never lost a case and I dealt with the 36th District Court in Detroit.I won because I covered my butt by having everything in writing.I documented everything.Every phone call I made to them and every phone call they made to me.I never complained to a tenant because they called regarding a repair.I listened when they told me they couldn’t pay their rent, but even though I understood their problem, I made them pay their rent anyway.Landlording is about making tough decision and doing things you don’t like to have to do.Landlording is a Business.You have to not LOVE YOUR HOUSE.I can’t stress this enough.If you don’t know or understand that this is a business of evictions, damages, and injustices, and fixing this house up over and over again, you aren’t going to be happy let alone successful.How I wish I could be there for every new investor to help them understand what it’s like to be a landlord BEFORE YOU INVEST.But I can’t and that’s really a shame because it something every new investor should dig into before they invest.One last thing.

I'm looking to Invest right here in Bergen County and although I don't have any projects as of yet, I've read enough horror stories about unreliable GC's, and knowing a couple of reliable and dependable handy men can be a great asset. 

Heck, one time i was setting up a lunch with a very wealthy partner we had on deals, and one of my coworkers said what is this the 1960's.. i guess referring to mad men and one of their "lunch" breaks..I think to get ahead, you need to be more MAD MEN like in your networking and relationship building.For god sakes, find the top 4-5 brokers in your region and niche, and BUY THEM LUNCH ASAP. introduce yourself, try to find ANYTHING you might have shared interest.. 

Would two men be able to do more than a couple flips a year? 

and realize that no refund policy is a *****..say hello to the scam known as "lease to own" certain professionals promise these buyers exactly what they become ..in 5 years..an owner of a property free and clear while the seller rakes in these huge down payments that a property can generate every 4 to 6 weeks, I refused to take that lesson and found the one of the best Methods to give it back to these con men..subject to exactly what they deserve.

Here is what I have so far: (A) # of men  (B) 40hours= (C)+ (B)hours of overtime at 1.5= (C) per week x(24) weeks.

These men are, in a way, protected by not being caught in the act and the fear they lay out in the victims.
