Thanks for your help!- Eric

Can you hire a helper or two to handle the actual mowing while you work on increasing the number of clientele you're serving.3.

Our regular Subcontractor Plumber had sent out one of his licensed helpers to set toilets and faucets and was the one who found the problem.

One last thought, plan on hiring (at a minimum) one full time, well qualified "lead" person, and (for a variety of reasons) one part-to-full time (and much lesser qualified) "helper".

But they aren't usually hostile to me because I go in as a helper, not aggressive.

e) Landscaping / snow removal - $900 - 1KYour operating expenses will be close to 60%, leaving little room for debt service (might not even have the required debt coverage for a lender) and no room for any sort of profit.Unless you are planning to live in one side and use the other as a mortgage helper, I would offer somewhere around 125-130K and start walking away.

@Richard Rheker ...When I started out, I cut grass, painted, demo and was a helper on most rehabs.

We have one full time helper that works with him.

I assume you did, but that last response makes me wonder.Sounds like you let you helper get away with "furniture, electronics, paintings and other such things worth value".

Thanks for your help!Eric
