Do you really make $85 per hour hanging blinds? You have not figured out how to do it cheaper. You take time from an $85 per hour job to hand blinds?

    "Do you really make $85 per hour hanging blinds?"

    Of course not. That is not what the poster said. He/she was simply saying that time is money, and if they have to take time off work where they DO make $85/hour, then hanging blinds is more expensive than the $5.00 that bayoupots was talking about.

      "if they have to take time off work where they DO make $85/hour"

      What the landlord makes at another job is irrelevant, what one is paid at one job does not transfer to the other. If you have to repair tenant damage, then yes, charge them. But you can't charge what you would be making at your other job. That's not the tenant's business nor the tenant's problem.

      If you're in a state where you are allowed to charge for your own labor, then charge an appopriate rate for the job being done. Very little skill is required (certainly not to the tune of $85/hr) to operate the tools necessary to hang miniblinds.

Did you perhaps make a typo? $85/hour amounts to $176,800 per year ($85 * 40 hours per week = $3,400 * 52 weeks per year = $176,800).

The going rate for a handyman or someone to hang blinds is not $85/hour.
