I am a hands on, small time landlord doing about everything myself (but contracting out some skilled work)I find housing people worthwhile (and even profitable), but nobody would want a television show about it (think of a camera zooming in on me cleaning carpets or painting walls for hours....snooze)...In fact, I think if you do things right, you can prevent much of the drama (no building disasters or angry tenant confrontations) the staple material that would keep viewers riveted.My strengths would be in the day-to-day, nitty gritty details of small time landlording, especially for part-time landlord that holds down a day job.

In return I can provide the same as well as any networking assets I have and even my skills in verious area's.Very excited to be here,Andrew C.
