This right here! I CAN do lots of the work, but so can my handyman, who can do it quicker and likely better. Because I bought correctly, I can afford to pay the pros to do my repairs. This allows me to keep on golfing/fishing/etc... and stay relatively stress free. Today, I'm handling a minor issue (first one in over a year at this property), by letting the pros do it, all while tinkering in my garage.
