You will obviously repair things that are non-functional (bad outlet, stove burner is out, or other things missed during your inspections) but any requests for improvements should be denied.Yes, I will occasionally make an upgrade for a tenant but ONLY after they've lived in the home for a year and proven themselves.

ExteriorThe walkways were cracked and should be monitored for action.Sections of the aluminum siding and trim were damaged and should be replaced.There was weathered wood trim throughout that should be replaced as necessary.We recommend installing window well covers over all window wells.The left-side gate was damaged and should be repaired or replaced.Some of the hose spigots were inoperable and this should be corrected.There was some minor cracking throughout each driveway that should be repaired as necessary.There was storage in the 1070 garage that obscured some areas from visual inspection.The Genie overhead garage door opener was not working properly and should be serviced or replaced.The garage door opener was plugged into an extension cord and a dedicated outlet should be installed.We recommend installing downspout extensions to divert drainage away from the foundation of the home.Each overhead garage door was damaged and should be monitored and repaired or replaced as necessary.The patio screen door was badly torn and damaged by the dog and should be replaced.The left side storm door was missing and should be replaced as necessary.

You've obviously been doing this longer than I have, but if there is anything I could do to help you out let me know.Good luck in 2017- Kyle

There's countless resources and outlets for gaining knowledge via forums, books, podcasts (my personal favorite), or simply networking with new and brilliant people throughout the site.

Yes that's a gfci outlet, yes you can have electrical in there by code, yes there will be an access door for those valves on the backside...

If I can help you out, let me know as well.

They plug into a standard outlet and look like a fire.You don't want tenants using a fire place due to the smoke making the home dirty and the fire hazard.

I replaced the breaker for that circuit and found one outlet in that bedroom that had half an outlet not getting power.  

A permanent (vs. portable) working heating system needs to be in place.Electrical switches and outlets.

In one of our current houses, the previous owner removed every single electrical outlet and light switch.
