Tip for turning over units with different types of repairs!

[Kyle Curtin]

When turning over a unit that needs a variety of different types of work done before listing it and another tenant resides there, be mindful of the order in which you do these repairs!

Example: if you need to add a fresh coat of paint and install new LVP flooring in a room, it would be wise to paint first and then do the flooring last, so you don’t get all that paint all over your new floors.

It can be tempting to get the “biggest” parts of the project out of the way first, and although making progress is fantastic, it might not necessarily be the best step at that moment.

Try to play through the project in your mind (or on paper) to determine the order that you need to complete certain phases. It won’t work out too well if you need to have a sheet of drywall replaced and do it BEFORE you replace a section of a leaking pipe inside the wall, because you will ultimately need to have the wall ripped open again and will add additional costs.

It is easier said then done sometimes, and I have had a few occasions where I should have had my order of operations in the turnover structured in a little bit of a different order, and you usually find out when you have already done certain steps haha!

Try to figure out the optimal process to take to get the project completed, and do the best you can to do in the order that makes the most sense and do it with the least amount of potential to alter the steps you took before!

Have a kickass day today!
