What are considered deficiencies when inspecting a rental unit?
Any property mangers out there able to help me with understanding some terminology.
I recently made it the final stages of an interview process for a property inspector position, and have been assigned a case study in which I am shown a number of photos of a rental unit and asked to identify any "deficiencies" in the photos.
I realize that this includes damages to the unit, , things that need to be replaced, but I feel like I am being too detailed in my observations, for example minor marks on the wall, would you report that? Also what else should I be looking for ando defincenies also include parts of the home that the tenant has not cleaned? Any help guidance, resources, would be really appreciated as I'm really trying to get into this industry as I love real-estate :)
