How often do you inspect your properties?

My lease says I can inspect twice in one year. I think once a year is enough if you screen well, although I did have a serious issue recently in a duplex that was caused mostly by not inspecting, and inadequate screening of an inherited tenant-that will not happen twice!! Hence the question-how often do y’all inspect your properties and do you just drive by-or enter?

I remember hearing some people use the two inspections for "Health and Comfort" inspections, and then also doing a "fire alarm" and "plumbing"   inspection. It gets them in there up to 4 times in a year if need be. As far as I am concerned, any tenant that I need to inspect more than twice a year, is a tenant I would rather not keep.
