I am looking for a good, reliable, cost effective handyman to build out a small closet in one of my rental units. Should be able to demo, frame, drywall and paint.
This always seems to be a problem for investors.
You can always call a GC, but that adds up quick.
I've always did what I can myself (I worked as a handyman). I would find a handy guy to help out from time to time and think great I can just send him over to swap a faucet. Those guys don't seem to last since I wouldn't have enough work.
I was thinking of getting a group of investors together in North Jersey to keep a guy busy enough to work steady.
I wouldn't mind coordinating it.
Any thoughts?
I have a solid contractor that I use for all my units in Bergen County. Not the cheapest, but the work will be right. If any interest, DM and can connect you.

My handyman is just finishing a big job for me. Gut renovation of a bathroom, handicap curb-less shower, new tile, new kitchen, new flooring, paint interior, etc. It was a big job so he brought in extra help when needed.
Fair pricing and quality work. He lives in Hudson County. PM me if anyone still needs a referral.
I'm looking to Invest right here in Bergen County and although I don't have any projects as of yet, I've read enough horror stories about unreliable GC's, and knowing a couple of reliable and dependable handy men can be a great asset. I hope you guys don't mind if I come back to this post and reach out for contact info when the time comes.
@Radhames Tatis@Ruel Baliong@Matt Borin@Edward C.@Steven S. just FYI, I started one in Bergen County back in September we've met twice so far and the next meeting is on November 28th. I'm actually thinking of changing the meetings to twice a month if things pick up as I limit meetings to 20 people to keep it cozy.

I can attest. The set up of one by one around the table individual into>Q&A>open discussion is really nice. I left feeling like I got to know everyone there, were their interest and experience lied and that I made contacts and friends.
