Great video, even better advice. Appreciate all you do. Your doing Gods work by lifting up your brothers and sisters with valuable knowledge. As always be safe and can't wait until the next video
I have a friend who is a handyman and consistently makes over $100k per year with no marketing or advertising of any kind. Just word of mouth and he's good.
This is a great video, thank you very much for this information. This helped me realize that I'm already making 60 to 75,000 a year, and I'm doing pretty good for myself. I'm going to work on making more and work my way up to $600 a day.
If any of us have somebody that's willing to work with us and pay us hundreds of dollars a day that's a pretty good sign that we're doing well and we need to continue on our path
Thanks for the video. Awesome stuff. I was 169. In California, anything over 500$ labor&materials, you need a license. I have a c-13, but I can only do c-13 stuff. I know other stuff but not licensed in those trades. They do stings in California because ppl take deposits and don’t come back or complete job Makes it difficult for ppl trying to be legit
Hey fellas, finally taking the leap and working for myself. Do y'all use a tablet on the jobs for jobbers and invoices? The tech side is completely foreign to me. Thanks for any advice.
@bulletproofhandyman the companies I have worked for over the years had me presenting an invoice in person for the client to sign off on. Some used paper, and others would have us use a tablet. I am looking to give invoices on the spot and then complete the task. I'm literally starting out in my 99 malibu ls. Hahaha
You can totally do that. I'm getting paid weeks after I finish the job so I'm not in a hurry to get the invoice made on site. I'm also working for property managers so it's easier to invoice in bulk at home for me. Both methods work, it's just a little faster to do it on a PC.
I always say you can make just as much as a contractor being a handyman. Even staying under that $500 limit you can knockout a bunch of $300 jobs a day. And you don’t have a huge risk like on big contractor jobs… the only negative I think about handyman work is just juggling sooooooo many jobs. Tenants cancel and shit happens and your schedule can get funky at times. But, you can filter in other jobs because you might have 30 open work Orders at a time… especially right now I have soooooo many move out work orders since it’s the end of the year people always move. And all the water leaks here in Northern California keep me busy. Drywall repairs and the common window leak because the tops aren’t caulked.
@@theamerican4609 I’ve been in business 6 years and between property managers, realtors, and great personal customers the work is very consistent 12 months a year. Property managers and realtors send work orders almost daily. And my personal customers contact me Often for random little stuff. I currently have 32 open work orders in my schedule. I’m always about 2 weeks out for jobs but sneak stuff in when I can manage it and accommodate people.
@@bulletproofhandyman yes it is. I always say the hardest part of doing handyman work is making your schedule tight and not all over the place. And learn how to deal with tenants because 50% of them don’t want you even working at their home so any excuse they can find to cancel they sure will.
Every property management company around me hads in house maintenance because they can control the quality of work and charge less to their tenants making happy customers. Hard to wed yourself with that program.
Half of the ones here in Tucson have in house maintenance but all of them still need to farm out a lot of work. The other half used to have it but had to stop because it's impossible to find anyone skilled who will show up every day and work hard.
Yea I’m going back into business again for myself barely made it through covid company called me took a job wish I never did that but o well wana go back for myself to benefit my family can’t trust anyone but myself ya know
I just put the 2025 jobs list into the documents folder, but I do not have updated pricing spreadsheets in there right now. It's going to take quite some time to review all of my pricing and update it and then finally download it.
Yes and yourself like others think Russia is running out of options, I wouldn’t be so quick to point out ,,,,1) he’s gaining territory and it will never be returned that means Ukraine is getting smaller as this war with NATO drags on Ukraine will keep losing territory which will never give back,to much blood was lost on his part
@@bulletproofhandyman you are correct, I had a rental property for my PM that had a brick mailbox setup that got “tapped” by a semi. I rebuilt it from the ground up, charged $1950, took 8 total hours and $350 in materials.
Your page has helped me go from a maintenance tech at apartments working for less to being on my own and successfully managing my business
Dude I love hearing that!

Thank you Justin! Good to hear from you brother!

I've seen some of those stings they do. Thanks for the comment!
I've seen some of those things! Thank you for the comment!

I used a tablet here and there but mostly I just use my phone to do a few updates and then use the PC to invoice etc... when I get home.

Hard to acquire ...and maintain... three customers every day....that would equal 15 customers every week... not realistic.
That's true, and thank you for the insight. It sounds like you've definitely had some experience here.
That's why we get to charge a premium, because it is hard.

I agree sir
Right now, I would be happy with $200 per day.
You'll get there
Really diggin these videos! Is your 2025 pricing spreadsheet in your documents, or is it still the 2024?
No new spreadsheets but maybe I'll update that as we move into 2025.
@bulletproofhandyman just asking mainly because I finally got Jobber and I'm getting it set up using your pricing sheet.
I just put the 2025 jobs list into the documents folder, but I do not have updated pricing spreadsheets in there right now. It's going to take quite some time to review all of my pricing and update it and then finally download it.
No he really makes 500. Parts gas
Correct
Truck, gas, tools, experience, that alone is 500 bucks +
Yes and yourself like others think Russia is running out of options, I wouldn’t be so quick to point out ,,,,1) he’s gaining territory and it will never be returned that means Ukraine is getting smaller as this war with NATO drags on Ukraine will keep losing territory which will never give back,to much blood was lost on his part
LMAO I was surprised to hear you say Masonry
Masonry is super rare. It's a skill I have and I charge a real premium. Almost nobody knows how anymore.
@@bulletproofhandyman you are correct, I had a rental property for my PM that had a brick mailbox setup that got “tapped” by a semi. I rebuilt it from the ground up, charged $1950, took 8 total hours and $350 in materials.
It’s a can do. But is it a should do? 1K a day takes its toll on a man.
Sounds like a nice job Eddie!
I agree, a daily number shouldn't be the goal. You want to build something sustainable.
