I supervised a maintenance guy at my previous non profit job. He was taking care of residential homes that disabled people lived in. He could do just about everything but heavy duty electrical. I had to lay him off and gave him the tools, sold him the van at a good price and worked with him on a business plan. My ex who is a real estate agent helped him network with agents and we used him for a few jobs. People selling homes always end up with a list of things to fix. Landlords always have maintenance to do on rentals. He made $35-$50 an hour for several years until health issues with his wife forced him to relocate. It can be done but being a good business person is key. Professional, setting the right expectations, quality work, on time, all that. GC license and insurance are a must.
