I’ve owned a few small buildings for years now, and I still feel like I’m trying to put the “routine” in routine maintenance.

Quote from @Ashleigh Medina: Hi!

As far as maintenance I could find a handyman or someone in line with that for routine maintenance. 75+ is most likely out of my price range as wel That is exactly why many of our investors prefer to invest in our syndications or fund, so that they can pool their resources with others and get the benefits of scalability, all while remaining passive.

When I first started in property management, I didn’t realize I’d spend my entire career thinking months ahead.Right now, many property owners are focused on the end of summer—kids going back to school, backpacks, supplies, and the daily routine.

Additionally, I am in search of a handyman for routine repairs and tenant complaints.  

The previous owner did not maintain the property on a routine basis, which led to recurring minor issues.

I totally get the dip in August—it’s common to see some slower traffic around this time, especially as people get back into their routines after summer.On our end, we manage 92 single-family homes for long-term rentals, and things are still moving pretty quickly.

Wednesday morning, I got the kind of call every landlord dreads — our contractor broke a pipe under the kitchen sink during some routine work.

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

Screening tenants and setting up a property management routine that keeps your first rental running smoothly.
