The Importance of Rental Property Inspections
04/10/23 • 28 min
As we are landlords who promote professionalism and a business mindset, this episode is a prime example of how to embrace these outlooks.
Too many landlords take the hands-off approach, thinking their tenants don’t want to be bothered. That the less contact they have with the tenant, the better. Maybe they won’t move out, maybe they won’t ask us for any improvements, maybe they won’t complain. Guess what? By avoiding the tenants, you’re ignoring your biggest asset, your rental property.
Like your personal home or your vehicle, rental properties need periodic maintenance. It needs to be checked on to make sure your tenants are caring for it as intended in the lease agreement. Make your presence known to your tenants so they will feel like you care about your investment and, in turn, them as your “customers”.
It has been statistically shown that rental properties that go without maintenance, have a higher turnover than those with active, attentive landlords.
Want to the whole process we use from a week before to two weeks after our unit inspections? Give this episode a listen. Being a hands on landlord isn’t difficult. We are here to walk you through everything we know to help you move towards being a landlord that does right by your tenants.

Spring Maintenance Checklist For Rental Properties
Routine maintenance is of utmost importance when owning rental property and Spring is the best time to get in there to inspect the structure and landscaping.
In this episode we cover in detail all aspects of what to inspect on the exterior of the building from the roof to the basement, and landscaping to fences.
Where the interior is SUPER important, we only discuss issues that may have occurred due to inclement weather, like where to look for mold and what to look for with all your mechanicals/HVAC.
Finally, we discuss several items for rental property owners to do some spring cleaning of in the business itself. You’d be surprised how evaluating these items can save you thousands when tax time rolls around.
BONUS: We created a Spring Maintenance Checklist just for this episode!
So tune on in and please let us know what you think! Be kind please 😉

The Advantages of Employing Your Children in Your Business
Let’s get this out there, we are not tax specialists or CPA’s. We are discussing what we have learned from our own personal research and experience. OK, now that the disclaimer is out there, we can tell you what we discuss in this podcast episode!
As your rental property grows, you may find you need more help with the everyday tasks that are time-consuming. These mundane jobs do not really help the growth of your business but are necessary to keep everything operating smoothly.
In this episode, we discuss the tax savings that can occur if you employ your children in your rental property business. Depending on where you are in your journey, these tax savings can be quite significant.
But it’s not all about you and your business saving money. We also touch on the personal benefits of employing your children and give several examples of what children of varying ages can do to help take tasks off your To-Do list.
Finally, we discuss options for your children to save or use the earned income and how putting them in charge of their own budget is a really good idea.
If you have kids (or are planning to), this episode is for you.
