My brother legit did this to repair his old farm house that he shouldn’t have bought. Tools and supplies are tax write offs, the company always operates at a loss, but he is basically a decent carpenter and worked through college and highschool summers as one.
Also don’t buy an ancient house unless you have the funds to build another house in it.
You could start a small business just to paint and maintain your own estate.
