Rent collection and finding Handyman/men in New Haven, CT

[Cecilia J.]

I am about to start managing 10 to 13 rental units in New Haven, CT. Does anyone have a good advice on collecting rent without chasing tenants?. My goal is to avoid cash pick up or drop off; unfortunately the previous manager got them use to that. I am going to need a reliable and experienced handyman (or 2) as well. I'd appreciate your advice, recommendation or just opinion. Thank you.
