If you can do a trade, there is a high demand for that. You can even broker other tradesmen out.
I’ve heard Plumbers make good money, seems like something you’d need to apprentice in before you start your own thing though. I’m assuming you mean buy their business?
You are most likely too late for that unless you want to study for a while.
Power washing business and/or gutter cleaning are probably the best. The cost to start is only a few thousand, it pays well, and you don't need special knowledge.
General handymen are also in demand, but you might need quite a bit more tools to begin with and enough knowledge.
Great advice! I have been using some apps to build my customer base (maintenance/handyman). I get the kind of crappy paying jobs in the app, make sure to leave my personal card with the customer, and boom, another repeat client. Most people have a variety of jobs they need done, the trouble is usually just finding those people. Then they in turn also get you more work by word of mouth if you do a good job.
You know what, that’s a brilliant idea. I’ve heard that the local power washing guys are complete tools as well, I don’t imagine it would take much to get their contracts. Both of those things are recurring needs as well.
General handyman could come later. I do have quite a bit of tools already and wouldn’t mind buying more. Thank you, seriously.
