Ed O. Strategies to increase profitability of rental properties
20 November 2011 | 12 replies
My apartments are 30 years old.I have a maintenance guy do unit checks every 2 weeks.Basically checks water heater,heater,outside unit,light bulbs,ceiling fans,electric,plumbing,etc.We have water included in rent so stuff like replacing springs and o rings in the showers to prevent drips and replacing flappers in toilets to keep the water from running all the time.Sometimes the shutoff valve at the wall for the toilet doesn't close all the way to off or the float mechanism goes bad.You can buy a water pressure tester at Lowe's for 9 dollars.Just screw it on check for pressure.Should read 60 to 80 pounds.If it's higher than that you have to find the pressure regulator valve next to the water cutoff for the unit and adjust it.After adjusting if the pressure doesn't go down to 60 to 80 you have a bad pressure regulator that needs replacing.The importance of this is pressure is set for the cities and counties at around 160 for the fire hydrants.If pressure is high inside the apartments it can cause leaking and premature failure of plumbing parts.On the insurance we are required for replacement value and can't do market value.
