Ripple - $35 per hour for side work

Hello Jared,

Thank you for your question!

Here was your question: "as a side job...is $35/hr (1 hr min) reasonable? Repairs on condos for people who are preping to sale them-college town=high turnover rate. ex: caulk fixtures, bleach grout, fix jamming doors(prob in our area), fill nailholes and repaint."

$35 an hour might be too reasonable. Do you carry liability insurance? If so, you can probably get more per hour. I've had good success charging $60 for the first hour and $45 per hour thereafter. How about imposing a 2 hour minimum? Whatever you do, don't price yourself too cheaply.
