Why do tenants lose so many fire and CO detectors?    

One deal at a time turns into a portfolio before you know it.Keep learning, stay focused, and lean into this community--you’re not alone, and your next chapter is already in motion.

I work with a lot of investors who run into these issues after things are already in motion, and by then it’s usually more stressful and expensive to fix.

A well stocked kitchen, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, etc. 

Motion activated sprinklers will also work.

I have section8 in Hawaii an San Diegoboth section 8 are totally different in Hawaii if a tenant does not pay their rent they eill get kick off section 8 an in San Diego if a tenant does not pay their  rent nothing happens. another thing tis the section 8 inspector will have you move the smoke detector.

The land deal is slow motion, maybe have something to report on that end in a few weeks.Hope everyone is having a great week!

.- annual inspections: we do that with a contractor in tow and loaded with supplies to address most common issues from touch up paint, to downspout extensions, smoke detectors, lightbulbs, exterior caulk etc - we try to fix the little things right there and come back for bigger things.

You have your maintenance person inspect the unit after the pest control to make sure the attic is properly secured.Also, I'd have maintenance check the batteries in any smoke/co detectors in the attic.
