I am self-managing a property in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago. I am looking for referrals for license/bonded handymen who will service that area. The people I have been finding ghost me once they learn that I am an out of state investor.

@Brian Berry let me know what type of tasks you need done or need to depend on someone for and I can see if anyone I can connect you with that you can trust no matter where you live!

Hi Mark -
You have always been so generous with your time and resources. I greatly appreciate that! You are truly one of the greatest contributors to the BP forums!
I'm looking to decrease my maintenance expenses. I am looking for someone who can do the first level troubleshooting (and possible repair) before calling in a more skilled tradesman.
Example: if a tenant has a toilet drainage issue, can a handyman deal with it? Or do we need a professional plumber? Sometimes it is just a clog that the tenant doesn't know how to resolve. Sometimes it is serious issue that needs a more technical person to diagnose and fix. I'm looking for someone to span that bridge.
That is what I'm looking for. A first-level troubleshooter.
