Things to check on upon an annual inspection

[George P.]

Could fellow landlords suggest the things to look at upon an annual inspection?
Thanks

I always check at least once a year:
(1) Smoke alarms
(2) Fire extinguishers
(3) Roof (usually just send someone in to the attic)
(4) Windows and doors for leaks;
(5) Underneath sinks for leaks (in case you haven't notice I'm terrified of water)
(6) Exposed wiring of any kind
(7) Any type of repair that needs fixing (I just give my handy man free reign)
(8) HVAC (separate HVAC guy comes through and inspects and services)
(9) If there's something unique to the house (e.g. railing), I have him check to make sure it's safe and secure.
