2) Have a maintenance budget3) for your case, allocate a standard % of the maintenance budget for the handyman but through the manager on a monthly basis (like a retainer).In this way, both parties can be flexible and disputes over repair costs are minimized by an stable monthly expenditure (on your part) and stable income (for the repairman's part)His particular skills naturally must be taken into account considering your needs,Hope this helped, I'm going through the same thing more or less - prob less :)

So a seller who sells their primary or secondary home in a state where an exception is granted to sellers of the same nature would be fine.

Of course, many of them naturally would choose to invest with the person who educated them - ME!
