Whenever we turn over or fix up a newly acquired rental, we always say to ourselves, We should pay this much attention to our own home. So recently, last 2 years or so, we've started scheduling a day where we go through our own house like it was one of our vacant rentals, fixing all the stupid little things we have tended to overlook.
