I do Complete Rehab, water fire, mold damage restoration, mold inspections, (re-builds) drywall, painting, post construction cleaning, carpet installtion and tearouts, new flooring, property management, I have 11 certifications, 2 are Master Certifications.

In my area, and any that require a rental certificate, if you are renting the property when it is done it makes sense to do the inside first to get your rental inspections passed.

Since by definition a handyman is usually doing his own work, he is not required to carry worker's comp but should still have certificate for self insurance.

Also, immediately after closing we are going to repair a few small ticket items that are needed in order to obtain an updated Certificate of Occupancy from the City (CO detectors, broken window, fire seal a few voids in ceilings…) We hope that this will show our desire to improve the building and that we are professional.After the dust settles and the 1st payment period passes (hopefully everyone pays on time that first month and we won't need to issue notices to vacate or evictions) we are going to send our leases with a notice of increase of rent (we will be giving them 60 day notices and they are all month to month).

Suntrust didn't want to close on closing day without proof of the pretreatment certificate and it took 3 hours to work it out.

More importantly, if you buy this house with a tenant in it and it does not have a lead safe/free certificate you might as well start looking for your Lead Paint Defense Attorney now.

That would be great if you could have a buyer lined up to close as soon as you got the certificate of occupancy.

Try to explore additional certifications in your field of interest and see if you can get your employer to pay for it.

I also studied for my certificate in Construction Management at the University Of Washington.
