Periodic inspections
Thought I would throw this out to see what everyone does. When you go to your rental properties and inspect them periodically, what do you look for. I do the following:
1. Look at the general condition of each room - any damage to walls or excessively dirty/stained floors and carpeting.
2. Turn on all faucets and look under the sinks to make sure no leaks
3. Flush the toilets to make sure they work and don't leak.
4. Change furnace filter/smoke detector/CO detector batteries as necessary.
Any other ideas? Thanks.
