Kudos. Ya gotta start somewhere.
I haven't set foot in a Harbor Freight in many years. I'm sure someone can point out that I'm a hypocrit for whatever reason, but I prefer to support quality tools from quality companies.
I've had ample opportunity to hire illegals from the roadside to help fix up rental houses, but I've resisted the lure. I figure why pay some to foock up my house, when I do a darn good job all by myself.
In the meantime, the president of the local RE investors club started a company called Latino Labor, bringing cheap labor to landlords and investors. I can't believe that company hasn't been busted by the IRS yet. Maybe it has.
