First time rental inspection

[Brad Sparks]

How do you handle rental inspections?  I'm starting to get weekly call about this and that so I want to see for myself what's going on there. 

 How much notice should I give?

Can I take pictures of the house? 

I'm having her sign a new lease since the previous owner's lease is two years old. How should I handle that?

This is my first rental and I want to be as professional as possible.
