Also PM would do a checklist during that photo visit to try to catch extra people, unregistered pets, leaks, damage, maybe bad water heaters/HVAC units, storm damage, so that's being proactive.I think these days too many PMs are in it to try to figure out how they can milk the heck out of stupid owners vs helping them build a portfolio and be successful owners.Being proactive on preventative maintenance, being quick on delinquencies, providing property values and options is helpful.
