Handyman/gardner needed In NOLA

[Jodin Concepcion]

Hello,

I recently bought my first investmemt property in NOLA. I am not seasoned in RE. This is a personal purchase for retirement cushion.  I have a double shotgun that is rented long term on one side and just pulled the trigger for short term rental on the other. In the meantime I switched property manager's and things have gone from bad to (much) worse when maintaning the property.  I'm toying with running myself from long distance , but hesitant. 

First step is to establish a good relationship with those mantaining my property when there's no oversight. Or at this point will keep someone close at hand until I find the courage. 

In any case besides all that  I am currently looking for a reliable and trustworthy handyman and gardner (minimum twice a month visit to water plants and keep weeds at bay nothing extravagant, but knowledgable as the yard could use more landscaping) to get on board and not sure which direction to go. Craigslist and vast website searches are beyond my confort zone. 

Thanks in advance for any recomendations.
