How can a handyman build repeat business with real estate investors?

Direct answer: Real estate investors buy speed and predictability. Win repeat work by documenting before/after photos, sending clean closeout notes, and invoicing so they don't have to babysit the job. Offer simple turnover or maintenance bundles so they can keep you on repeat without re-explaining needs.

Practical steps

  • Measure it: Track time, materials, and outcome on the next 5 jobs in this category.
  • Standardize: Turn what works into templates, line items, and checklists.
  • Communicate early: Set expectations before the job starts to avoid friction.
  • Review monthly: Keep what improves margin and remove what creates chaos.

Next step: Apply this on your next similar job and record what improved.
