Handyman looking for a garden apartment to rent/renovate!
Hey Brownstoners. I’m looking for a place in BK to rent, preferably something that has not yet been totally renovated. Tired of the ‘totally renovated’ Craigslist look. Anyone have a garden apartment that needs some work, but also needs a tenant/ Hoping to move in November or December. Thanks!

Yes, I have references I could give you. I know all the contractors out there think that there is no possible way that a person can do more than one trade worthwhile, but I can do sheet rock, carpentry, flooring, some plumbing and electrical, and I would love to have a chance to fix up a nice garden-level apartment that needs some work.
Yes, I would say my work would definitely be worth rent. I’m sure something could be worked out that would benefit everyone.
Do you have references? Also do you mean handyman on someone who can renovate the place while you live there. New sheet rock, new kitchen, new floor, new plumbing, etc.
How long you will be looking to stay? Will your work be worth the rent?
you are very welcome.
Thanks again.
Why would a landlord want to rent you an apartment and allow you to renovate it? Your idea makes no sense at all.
Actually, it’s a completely legitimate inquiry of people here.
Not all homeowners in Brooklyn are wealthy yuppies. Some may be elderly people who have owned a house all their lives, are going to sell it in a few years, and would gladly welcome a handyman in the house to help them improve the rental apartment and house, so they can do better when they sell it. So you know, try thinking about other people than just your own specific situation once in a while.
Or, that might have been an out-of-work contractor posting here angrily, as usual. This board is crawling with these guys. Dudes, listen, when it gets harder for people to get mortgages and the market becomes uncertain, yes, homeowners will not be throwing around as much money on renovations. It’s a normal economic cycle. Deal with it.
Thanks for your input.
this is the second time you’ve posted this. Obviously no one is interested in renting you an apartment. Go back to craigslist.
