Handyman wants to move in

[Taylor King]

So I met with a handyman yesterday who wants to take my rehab on. He was recommended by my realtor who seems really knowledgeable. After going through the house and imagining the possibilities, he was interested in even moving in. He stated he would do work in exchange for a decrease in rent. Has anyone done this with a handyman? What was your approach? Did you still do a background/credit check? What percentage of rent did you take off? Thanks for any info you may have!
