Finding general/semi skilled labor in Charlotte, NC

Hello,

I'm trying to wind down on doing most, to all of the work on my 3 properties. I'm in the position to be able to pay for more stuff now, but I'm having a hard time finding good people. I can't afford to just go to the most reputable/priciest guys yet. Craigslist is so questionable although I have found a couple good people over the years, but most end up sounding great over the phone when i first call, and some even do some good, reasonably priced work for me, then end up being flakes or shady. I give them what they ask for money wise, and then some when I feel they deserve more for what they've done. I also stress that I have a lot of work and can give them continued business. I don't know why guys place ads then seem to not be interested in obtaining on-going business.

I know there are people that come and work for 100.00/day or the the neighborhood of, that are even semi skilled, but how do I find these guys? Any suggestions? I work 50 hours a week at my day job and need help.
