We can do basic maintenance... door knobs, paint, ceiling fans, re-wiring an outlet, etc.  

Both are basically just the same issues you'd have with any other property.

The issue I'm running into is the NC law that says you basically cant DIY anything that you plan to rent.

For context, I’m Lucas with Howzer Property Management in MA.Appliances & unit itemsIf you’re using Excel, the biggest improvement is having one master sheet per property, not a bunch of random tabs.Each unit gets basic info:Appliance typeBrand / model / serialInstall dateWarranty infoLast service dateMost people track invoices, not assets.
