Based on my experience working with real estate investors and property managers, here are some common arrangements for local handymen and maintenance personnel for short-term rentals:On-call basis:Pay a set fee per call-out (e.g., $50-$100 per visit)Hourly rate for time spent on-site (typically $50-$100/hour)Additional charges for parts or materials usedRetainer agreement:Monthly flat fee (e.g., $200-$500) for basic availabilityAdditional charges for actual work performed beyond a set number of hours or visitsPer-task pricing:Agree on set prices for common tasks (e.g., $75 to unclog a drain, $50 to replace a lockbox)I like the per-task pricing as long as your maintenance calls aren't super frequent.I'm also a hard money lender if you're looking at a new deal to get quotes on soon or if you're looking to refinance a property soon!
