Paying Handyman

[Christopher R.]

Hi. There is a handyman in my area that I frequently use. When there are small repair issues, I would just send him to the units to address the issue.

My biggest difficulty is that he doesn't accept checks as a form of payment. I don't think he has a bank account. He prefers cash. I intermittently bump into him because we belong to the same church group and I would pay him then.

But I'm thinking there's got to be a faster and easier way to send someone money if they didn't take checks. Any advice?

Chances are he has a bank account  he just doesn't want to report the income on his taxes.
