Hello David, it’s definitely a good idea to walk-through your occupied rental properties.

If you have some time this summer, walk into a real estate firm or search the job sites for internships. 

Call your escrow/title company and they may walk you through the process.

Now if you have a general person who stops in to do other small tasks or do more property management style tasks (walking through the house to inspect for damages, drop anything off guests may need, change water/HVAC filters etc.)

If your answer is “yes” walk away and find some people, Meetups are a great place, who you can network with for free and learn the ropes.  

If I can just save one person from falling for his predatory tactics it'll all be worth it.I also walked away from the deal I mentioned above and told them to keep their $, I don't want it anymore so they understand this is more about justice.

I think the only solid way of determining repair costs is by having a trusted contractor walk the property and assess it themselves. 

It's like walking into a bar, picking a fight with someone, and then when you are about to get tossed out, saying why are you throwing me out, I didn't do anything.

Really trying to find something where I'd feel comfortable with the fiance walking the dog at night or just being by herself.
