We have 4 rent houses, own 2 pharmacies, have 10 1/2 acres at home to take care of. I have gotten to the point that I hire someone to take care of the rent house problems and any thing that comes up at the house I usually hire it done. Between my back and hip and knee I don't get around as good as I used to. Everything is paid for and we don't borrow to get anything.

I do not make a lot but I do fix things that are broken.
I never pay to have things done.
Except medical but only sometimes.

I fix neighbors and friends cars Brakes Suspension etc etc.

If you ever pay to have things done that is money out of your pocket.
Yea I hear people say I make more money an hour than it takes to fix something so i pay the guy to fix it for me.

Really!
You spend all your time making money you never sit to type BS on the computer without making money.
You never turn on a TV or radio and relax.

Well kudos because you do not need extra cash.

I do not need extra cash all I have is paid for and if it breaks i got it covered because I fix things that are broken and I live way below my means.

Think about that when your car needs an alignment.
Roof leaking.
AC quit.
Pipes bust under the house.
Windows leak.
Tree fell on the roof.
Transmission or engine went out on your vehicle.
Ceiling fan broke off the mount.
Need an add on to your house.

Need concrete work done.
House/ foundation sagging.
Welding need done on car or equipment.

Fix it yourself I do.
Don't know how? Research it I did way before the internet was the way to research things.

I like my rental houses.
They are paid for and I did not need anyone to help me fix anything on them.

Many electronic things fail.
Home phone, fans , heaters etc. Instead of tossing it take it apart and fix it.
50 years I operated like that. Then last year a stroke got me when I wasn't looking.
Now I have to pay to have things done.
Very frustrating.
Fortunately the rent houses are all in good shape and paid for.

Anybody looking to get into rentals
A warning ! It takes a special kind of person to be successful with them.
Been doing it on my own 28 years, helped my parents with theirs for over 25 years before that.

Tip ; when you go to court, sue for possession only. Forget the money.
Less income, less taxes.
In this day and age leftist judges will let them stay if they give 50 bucks and promise to pay. Then your back there next month again. Possession only, there outta there, then file for sheriff to get them out.

No judgement on you either for doing what you have to.
