It's good to have a maintenance schedule. 

That’s what the schedule C is for. 

It’ll save you a ton of time by filtering out applicants who don’t meet your criteria.And here’s a big tip I learned the hard way: always give prospective tenants a quick call before scheduling a showing.

. - To expound a bit on the above, schedule inspections, appraisals and post closing requirements as quickly and as far in advance as possible.

That kind of work schedule is not conducive to conventional long term leases.

Pete and am scheduled to close on my 2nd property in about a week!!

Everyone has to take a holiday at some point, so that makes sense.But for these reasons, property teams who plan early and plan their scheduling around this get the advantage of smooth operations around holiday seasons. 

Regular inspections and scheduled maintenance (like cleaning gutters, checking smoke detectors, and servicing HVAC) protect your investment.Treating it like a hobby, not a businessTrack income, expenses, and receipts properly.
