Property Services businesses

Anybody know anything about these? I've seen some that are PE-owned, I know one that was started (on the side) by a very successful broker who ultimately 'retired' to just run the commercial property services business, something like 70 employees.

"crusty bumhole" Whatchu mean by property services
basically 3rd party providers of anything and everything under the sun as far as R&M. Like even window washers of high rises.
 

I don't, but I'd imagine it'd be a really good business. You're basically connecting low to medium skill labor to institutional landlords and third-party managers. Seems like a pretty straightforward business and those contracts can be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, the labor is generally pretty cheap, and the relationships (once won and developed) are likely pretty sticky. Seems like you could scale it pretty well in a good sized market and/or do some roll-ups once you reach some scale. Always about the balance between quality, level service, and cost.

Has to be a higher margin business than the property management business...

 
"Dumpster Fire Yuppie" Overhead burn in construction is very roughly 1.6, but the OH&P multiplier is 2-3x for services. Margins aren't that big if accounting for bigger management/overhead numbers.

I think a big question for this as well is why would you want to do this. As management of a small company like this, you'll end up swinging hammers yourself more than likely to reduce overhead or fill a demand.

can you explain the 1.6? Is that just how many months of cash these guys usually keep on hand? Or what you mean by multiplier? I know what OH&P is but otherwise confused.

Obviously the part about swinging a hammer doesn't apply to the guy in my OP so there must be a way in his case.
