I had to really laugh as I read the comments since employees drive me crazy.

Bodily Injury/Property damage liability- Workers CompensationWhich of the above you will need will depend on what operations you are doing and whether or not you have employees or subcontractors. 

I have found in the past both as a employer and employee that a solid base with a quarterly bonus or commission tends get the most out of people.

You can be hired as an employee to manage properties owned by your employer.

My tools , my house payment , my gasoline for the month , my electric bill , my health insurance , my truck payment , my insurance payment , my telephone bill , my food and the food for my family , my cable and internet service , my health insurance ,  basically 1/12th of my yearly expenses , the cost of the employee , federal and state taxes  PLUS a profit on top all that

@Brian BakerAny chance you are a member or can become a member of State Employees CU?

How did you start to find employees that were able to help you grow? 

You cannot have employees.
