Once we like the property, Can we hire a building inspector to get the property inspection report done with videos and photos to analyze the property condition?

The best thing is to click the Orange Button under the photo to get a complete and detailed cash-flow analysis and pro-forma for years 1-5, 10, 20, and 30.Hope that helps! 

@Nichole Stohler, very inspiring success story, I respect anyone that gets back on the horse after they've been knocked off!

Take photos of the condition of the unit upon your departure.

@Jagdish Bajaj  I think it is also worth noting that not all of the faculty, staff, students, administrators, etc. of the Schools and Hospitals in University Circle live or want to live within a 5 mile radius of their respective employer.  

I haven't used them but they get excellent reviews from some well respected people in the industry. 

Thanks for sharing your photos!!

While you are looking at the property, add it to a List, and take at least one photo - the photo is useful both for remembering the property and for use in marketing to the owner.

With respect to our tenants renter's policies, it will be a little more difficult to require this of low rent tenants but I have already discussed with my PMs and we are working on an approach to make sure they all have in effect policies so my policy is not first in line in case of a loss due to tenant negligence (even if we have to contribute to the cost). 

Then you start to implement your maintenance and capital improvement plan for the building and wrap your head around the needs of the place; and you get good paying, respectful tenants settled in and renewing their leases.
