(Occupied) Property Inspections

[Christopher Abele]

We perform a quarterly property inspection currently during which we change air filters, check smoke / CO2 detectors and look for signs of water issues (toilets aren't running, nothing under sinks.)

I'm still learning as I go, so I feel like there are things that I should be looking for and adding to a checklist. The goal is eventually to have move this task over to a maintenance / handyman who would also take care of any pending maintenance requests at the same time. Since its still "learn as you go" I'm trying to develop a checklist for quarterly inspections. Does anyone have a list that they currently use or can add to the discussion of things that should be checked that they would be willing to share? (Maybe a google sheet or doc they might be willing to share?)

This seems excessive to me. 1-2 inspections a year. Mail the air filters to the Tenants and make them change them.

Your current method is OK for a few rentals, but it's not going to scale and I have to question the cost:benefit of it all.
