Walking Your Investments

[Caleb Sonneman]

How often, if at all, do you recommend walking your long-term investment properties? What I mean by ‘walking’ is either you personally, or your PM, physically walking through the unit to ensure the renters are taking care of your property.

Our handyman goes into every rental property every 90 days to personally change the AC filter. It is really important here in Texas to change the filters regularly and all of my tenants seem to like the fact that they don't have to deal with it. This way we get to see what's going on and they tell us if they are having any issues. Small price for keeping good tabs on the properties.
