Quote from @Case Mccarthy: I would say that you can verify these landscape items, and other exterior repairs by getting the invoice from the PM, getting a cleared check or payment and also yearly getting photos of the place by the property manager.  

For winter rentals, strong photos, clear descriptions, and maybe a small move-in incentive can make a big difference.

Hey there,I would love to see photos if you have them ready.

(And, with AI now, what lender accepts photos?)

Is it prudent to ask your snow removal company to send you a photo of the cleared snow for proof? 

She had promised professional photos and a listing within two days but only updated pictures after 35 days—and that too after I warned her about termination.

For some reason I can't get any photos to upload in this thread, sorry!

Be ready with documentationAny lender will want:• your scope of work• before/after photos• receipts for work already done• remaining budget• exit planThe cleaner your package, the faster someone will step in.

You should have a local property manager to handle people, a reliable handyman on call for problems, and a quarterly photo and inspection routine for peace of mind.
