Handyman as property manager

[Kishan Patel]

Hi All, 

I wanted to know if anyone has hired a handyman as a property manager before. I am in the process of getting rid of the current managers because of ongoing negligence and I know a handyman who is willing to deal with the properties and tenants. I would still collect rent, negotiate/sign lease terms, and find tenants. He would essentially just do showings, do small repairs/maintenance, and respond to any emergencies. I was wondering if this would be a liability on my end and if it is, how we could make it so he is a legal property manager that can do these tasks. Any input is appreciated,
