There are other ways to skin a cat!

I'd be irritated too if someone kept coming back to my house daily to tinker with the ac. 

I will use my knowledge in the home inspection field, owning and operating my home inspection business, the relationships i will make during that time, my experience in being a landlord and my knowledge as an licensed electrician and home inspector to help convince my investors that i am serious and have the skin in the game to get deals done.
