Based on my experience working with real estate investors and property managers, here are some common arrangements for local handymen and maintenance personnel for short-term rentals:On-call basis:Pay a set fee per call-out (e.g., $50-$100 per visit)Hourly rate for time spent on-site (typically $50-$100/hour)Additional charges for parts or materials usedRetainer agreement:Monthly flat fee (e.g., $200-$500) for basic availabilityAdditional charges for actual work performed beyond a set number of hours or visitsPer-task pricing:Agree on set prices for common tasks (e.g., $75 to unclog a drain, $50 to replace a lockbox)I like the per-task pricing as long as your maintenance calls aren't super frequent.I'm also a hard money lender if you're looking at a new deal to get quotes on soon or if you're looking to refinance a property soon!

When I first got started in real estate in 2002 I did 33 leases in one month...good money! 

Hi BrianAs a real estate agent exploring opportunities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I would love to connect with experienced cash buyers in the region.

For this month, we have real estate attorney Stephen Weaver attending, to discuss land use issues in LA.

I'm Ryan Murdock from Anchorage, AK, passionate about real estate investing for 4+ years now.

I am new to real estate investing and would like to get started with wholesaling.

I really don't think that applies anymore as the number one advantage of Real Estate is the leverage (it's easy to get money for it).However, You need cash reserves to make sure you stay in business and can keep building (both skills and wealth).To answer the question of BRRR vs Flip - It's all about "do I have enough cash reserves to make sure I'm going to stay in business?"
