Open up microsoft word and start typinig. Type their name and address, type the address of the properties, type the work to be done at each property, type the dollar ammount for each property, include a space for them to sign. Now print it on your letter head.

Alternatively if they will be paying you time and material you can just type that up as well.

do i need anything else to be included or not?

Lots and lots of fine print explaining who is responsible for what, and more importantly lots and lots of fine print about liablility issues. Also don't forget lots of fine print about how you will get paid, when, where and how, and what will happen if you don't.

Nothing in a contract is important until you have a problem, once you have a problem you are going to wish you had an additional 100 pages of verbage in your contract.

Anything else is gravy but this would be the bare minimums.

Hi all, this isi my first post. How exactly would you go about getting a apartment complex to begin with? I want to start my business doing Electrial service work and remos. But, seems like it gets pretty slow in the winter. I am hoping to official be up and running in 3-6 months.
thanks
