But on 2nd thought, have a repair man check it out as I don't know anything about electric stoves.

You can't expect the repairman to carry every possible part with him.

I have watched a few youtube videos of some things that are well within my experience level even as a inexperienced repair man and I have some tools.

My usually repairman are MIA.

I found that as long as I have great tenants and the ability to call a repairman I can do it from anywhere.

It takes time to find the right property, but even more time to find the right agent, right repairman/company, even the right loan officer.

Also keep in mind, things you can fix for $5 may cost you $55 for a repairman to do for you.

My worker tells me that someone dressed as a telephone repair man knocked on the front door, when the tenant answered the front door, a swam of about 5 police exited an unmarked van parked just down the street, entered and searched the house.

Mike those rates sound high but if your property is in California I am sure repair man costs will be much more than here in Georgia.If you learn anything with tenants with you have to " tenant proof" your units.That means take out gas stoves, if your older unit has a fireplace decommission that so it can't be used, garbage disposal you take it out.Do not give a tenant a chance to screw something up and break it.

We have higher end tenants who meet the repairman.
