Safety checks, how often are you checking carbon minoxide detectors and fire alarm?

They beep when they sense carbon monoxide, giving you a heads-up to get out of the area.Fire extinguishers are like mini firefighters that you can use to put out small fires before they become big problems.They spray a special foam or chemicals that can smother the flames.Security systems are like guards that watch over your property.They can include cameras, alarms, and sensors that can alert you or the authorities if there's a break-in or suspicious activity.Having these safety features in place is like having a team of protectors on your side, ready to keep you safe and sound.They give you peace of mind, knowing that if something goes wrong, you'll be alerted and can take action.So, whether you're at home or in a property you're visiting, always make sure safety features are in working order because they're there to look out for you.Property inspections are an investor's best friend.They provide peace of mind, protect your investment, and help you make informed decisions.So, whether you're planning to buy your dream home or looking for profitable real estate investments, never underestimate the power of a thorough property inspection.It's a small investment that can save you from big headaches down the road.

Remember the occupant is likely considered a homeowner - your occupant will likely be a renter (even the occupant at the time of the sale may be a renter after the sale) and most areas have some code regarding the condition of a rental property (think smoke alarms, working windows, safe electrical systems, etc.).
