Routine inspection on rental property

[Chien Low]

We self manage our rental property and was wondering if there is an inspection service that helps conduct quarterly inspection of the property?

Chien, a lot of landlords run into this—I’ve seen a few good options: some property managers offer inspections as a stand-alone service, there are third-party companies that do quarterly walk-throughs with reports/photos, or you can even have a trusted handyman do routine checks (filters, smoke detectors, leaks, etc.). In the Midwest where I operate, catching small issues early with these inspections has saved investors thousands long-term, so it’s definitely worth setting up.
