I'll swing hammers for roughly 40% of the remodel (installing the kitchen cabinets, painting, electrical fixtures, exterior repairs, and minor plumbing stuff in the shower. 

Complained about it to the owner multiple times and they just kept going with the hammer drills in the wall at 9pm.

"Did you throw that sledge hammer through the car window?"

Instead of doing all that, I sell 9 pound hammers for $25 that they can buy and slam into their big toe and the pain only lasts a few weeks.

The key is to pick much smaller markets that are not being hammered by the mega wholesalers.

Tell him you will buy a shed he can bang hammers on in the backyard.

@Regina Sledge - Thanks!

Also the stand alone PM company doesnt care if you are being hammered with repairs or not. 

Marcus is correct and the discussion of all rentals having to be in an LLC has already been hammered out here with attorneys posting.

Others have been hammered by local gurus who have no regard for other people and are quick to take advantage of novice investors.Real estate investing is a fun job, but it's a game that can mean financial and legal doom for those who don't do their homework.People, avoid most gurus.
