They all run off the same style battery. 

I've preferred the Schlage locks in the past because they do not try to power the deadbolt - they simply unlock and the user turns the deadbolt - which leads to longer battery life and less chance of malfunction due to alignment changes in the door (a common attribute of winter with older buildings up here).  

Recently I had the following work done at a property:  1) install security screws for existing kitchen faucet 2) adjust deadbolt on a door 3) replace (2) outdoor lights and light bulb (4) replace 3 smoke detector batteries (5) install a spring for screen door (6) install a blind in the living room. 

Make sure you know how to handle if they don't pay rent, if they move extra people in, if they damage items-  what is tenant responsibility to pay- pest control, snow removal, gardening, pool service, filter changes.Are you prepared to respond if they call you for little things like lightbulb changes, remove control batteries, etc. 

(also agent asked me to raise purchase price $5k to help with buyers closing, and I did it)The lender told me Friday that they did not have a ctc yet and that it was just re-conditioned.

If I catch the problem right away, I still can call to fix it - I have warranties on most of appliances.I'd say that once a year inspection must be mandatory for PM including pictures.We have inspections from Citi - so I usually go and change filters, batteries, check all electric outlets - anything about safety of the property.

Electronic Lifts- disconnect the battery if leavingfor long term storage.K.

But as soon as they checked in, the fire alarm was beeping/out of batteries (even though she had just changed it!)

I want to be prepared for the O&U inspection, but I can not find this code listed anywhere, and when I call the Government I get different answers depending on who I talk to, such as: 1) Need hardwired interconnected system, but the detectors in the units can be battery operated. 2) Need hardwired detectors in each bedroom and common areas, but they do not need to be interconnected.

Hi all, i would like some help on what to offer on a 32 unit complex (my first).The property is located in a very good area with much sought after school district, built in 1965, 12 two bed 1 bath, 20 two bed 1.5 bath, but current owner did many improvements including, windows and doors, metal roof, plumbing upgrades, repaving, pool reconditioned,flooring, cabinets etc. the only capex i could spot on walkthroughs was the 20 ac units not replaced(recently).
