By the way, can anyone tell me what I can expect on the apartment side?
yea...you're crazy to even think about it with your set up.
In "general", apt and prop managers are CHEAP, never ready when you get there (painters and/or maintenance men's crap all over the place) doors locked that are supposed to be open
They find outfits to do them for $50-$70 bukz for 2 and 3 bd rm flats..and most are trashed
....you'll go broke trying to compete with your little squirt 'n suck box rotocrAp ripped you off for .
only about 18.47% of them will pay what it's worth..those are worth having, so don't neglect to solicit, but they're few and far between
I am a little nervous of doing the high end homes,
"hi-end" homes ???
I laugh when i hear that, cause most of the "truly" hi-end homes we do are big PITA.
covering miles of hardwood floors to get to the 200sf carpeted den 80ft from the foyer entrance (which is polished marble and has to be covered too)
Then another 40 ft of mahogany stairs and hall to get to the master bed rm.
forget about how much their home cost.
You want folks that will pay good money for good service ..those folks live and are scattered throughout gated communities, middle class burghs and
trailer parks .
"Dottie and Blanch" two long time custys of mine ( both passed away now) lived in two different trailer parks .
Blanch paid $200 for 4 rms twice a year...and always gave a
$50 tip on top of that!!!
Dottie, paid $136 for two postage stamp sized rooms twice a year.
Both had all the upl done every 3rd of forth vi$it
neither were "rich"
point is, you want people that value and will pay for good service , and those folks aren't exclusive to "hi-end" homes
..L.T.A.
