HIring a handyman?

[Pedro Oliva]

I have one rental property and want to 'manage' my fathers 3 rental properties as well since he has had nothing but problems due to him being too much of a nice guy and having gone through a quintuple heart bypass surgery and limiting him on how much he can do now. I would like to have a handyman to be able to fix and repair smaller maintenance issues. Ive never hired anyone before or know how much to pay someone for work like this. Any recommendations on how to approach this and how to choose the right one?
