Default No More Landlords Or Realtors!

That's it!Â* I'm sick of it.
I am now going to ask the question, "Are you the owner/occupier of this
property" before taking on any more repair work.
I've had it with realtors and landlords who not only want you to use a
band-aid fix for everything, but they want you to buy the band-aids at
BigLots.

I finally told one, today, "You know, someone has to live here, right?"
She kept asking me which of the two repair options I would guarantee for
longer.
I actually chuckled and replied, "Oh, I'm not guaranteeing either of
these options.Â* I'll guarantee the work if you let me do it right."

They're trying to save a couple hundred dollars on a house they'll get
$2500 a month for in rent or make 50 grand on the sale.

One realtor asked me, "Why won't you just do it the way I want you to do
it."
I said, "Because I like to sleep at night."

There are plenty of people around here who are working illegally, not
paying insurance nor taxes, and don't know any better who can work for
these people.Â* No more, for me.




HA! I put a fire alarm in commercial building once for the owner. The
realtor (building manager) blamed me for everything. Sprinklers didn't
work. Automatic lights. Whatever. Worse I get called over to check it
out, and nobody knew anything and nobody could let me into anywhere. I
finally told her to stop calling me to trouble shoot all her problems
for free, becaus ethe fire alarm passed inspection and works perfectly.
The rest is just manipulating me to get free labor. The very next day I
got a call from the building owner telling me his building manager had
said he would be better off getting another alarm company. Irene Crites
(Crites and Associates) was the building manager, just in case you are
ever in Yuma. I am sure she is an absolute doll to work for and it was
just me. LOL.
