-Toggle breakers,
-Move furniture,
-Change batteries on smoke an CO detectors,
-Program thermostats,
-Change lightbulbs,
-Shut off valves for pipes
-Install door knobs
-Install light fixtures
-Know what parts to buy to do any of the above as needed and have the know-how (or Google skills) to figure it out

Ability to do small DIY jobs is a plus, including:

My properties are in Huntington Hills and Thorncliffe (Off Centre street in the North).

I'd like to build up a calling list of a few guys I can have on call for periodic work. You'd need your own tools and vehicle.

Good luck, those aren't "Millennial" compatible skills.

They are when you become a Husband, Dad, and Real Estate investor - regardless of what generation you're from.

I'm just less a fan of going to my property at 9:00 on a Sunday evening to fix a broken toilet chain, especially if I can pay someone to do it.

Cool, thanks JWire! I'm in the same boat too... Too many jobs, not enough time - hence why I'm looking for help.

You know it's a small job when your home - but when you have to drive 20 minutes both ways - it becomes a bigger job.

As a tenant, I only rent from landlords living within walking distance of my house, preferably only on the same property.

As a tenant I'm paying for a service rather than investing in property. Basement floods, roof leaks, I believe I've been paying for the upkeep on those things all along.

You are - as are my tenants - which is why I tend to be quite vigilante about doing it. Now that I'm moving into multiple properties, though, it's just becoming too much work for me to do myself.
