I had a roofer, painter, general handyman and house cleaner on speed dial if I needed one. 

Felt like I had no purpose and was not giving back value to the world.People typically that have money will get involved in causes and charities to stay busy.My Uncle invented the cleaner Goof Off decades ago.He has been very wealthy for awhile.When he sold off the company and he took a few years off but after that he was sitting at home bored and started inventing hand cleaners and other stuff again.If I had that kind of money personally I like CTL's (credit tenant loans) that are triple net.CVS,Walgreens,Rite Aid's,etc.

To make it even cleaner, have them deed the collateral (car, other house, jewelry, etc) into your friend’s name (as long as you trust them) and let your friend give you the payments.

Some people are cut out for that but I personally am not so that's why I use a management company and a cleaner which, again, eats into potential revenue but greatly put my mind to rest.

Are there any investors in South Bend, IN managing one or more short-term rentals that have found good, reliable people to manage the turnover process between bookings (cleaning, washing linens, tracking items that ne...

In a recent case, no one thought to tell me about the horrible odor of the carpet (which had been cleaned already supposedly) till 3 wks into a listing, and presto my PM finally mentions it only because one of the people who rejected the house actually mentioned it, so we got a new cleaner to focus on the smell.

Your Cleaners must are your "eyes and ears" and must be on the ball/have attention to detail or you will have angry guests/bad reviews.

Narrowing down your client's criteria will go a long way to reducing the scope of work, then you can manually scrape to produce cleaner data for your leads anyway.

Would I give my cleaners & handyman 50% ownership of my properties?

But we will adjust our offer price accordingly.That will make things cleaner for sure doing it that way and remove the "arms length" issues you would have surely had.
