Managing your properties

[Kate Jones]

How often do you guys check on each of your properties? Do you give notice to the tenant once a month or every other month to make sure there are no unreported leaks or damages?

 I inspect 1-2 times a year. If the tenant demonstrates other bad behaviors, then I may trigger an additional inspection to check on things. One bad behavior can often indicate other things are going on.

Have you read any books on managing rentals? I notice you're asking a lot of questions. I often recommend you start by reading some books to get a firm foundation on what's involved with managing a rental. That will answer 80% of your questions, including things you've never thought of.
