Home warranty for rental property

[Vinay Ari]

Hi, I am self-managing my rental property and looking into the option of using a home warranty service. Once I get the service activated, I will share the service number with the tenant and he calls directly the service instead. Given they manage appliance, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc, most of the calls will be diverted to them instead and it will reduce my workload.

The only downside I see is that they charge 100$ per visit and if the tenant calls too many times, then that bill is going to increase, but I live in Austin, and 100$ is nominal for a house visit. What do you guys think?
