Having a local handyman on speed dial, ready to help with any situation, will reduce your anxiety while ensuring that your tenants receive top-quality assistance when they need it most.

Maintenance requests can crop up unexpectedly, and as a landlord, having a dependable handyman on your side is invaluable.

In this video, we’ll share some valuable tips to simplify your search:
Tip 1: Do Your Research We kick off by emphasizing the importance of thorough research. We explore various resources, including Yelp, HomeAdvisor, Nextdoor, the Better Business Bureau, and Google, to help you vet potential handyman candidates effectively.
Tip 2: Schedule Interviews Discover the significance of scheduling interviews with prospective handymen.
