On very heavy rain days we always get a lot of calls due to some basements flooding.It's just the nature of the beast and nothing major.Maintenance pumps out the inch or so of water fairly easily and quickly.Property management walks (For free) the property yearly before the lease renewal.We had push back on charging $250 for a 2 x yearly Property Condition Report through Inspectify but are now having a "click out" option so we can't be blamed in the future for deferred maintenance.It's incredible the lengths that we need to go through to protect the company from such instances.With that said, we could have done a better job with preventative maintenance here.Investors reading, "Yes" we do our best to cover absolutely all angles as your eyes and ears, heart and soul on the ground.
