Utilizing Inspections in Rental Properties

WeAreTPM

In this episode of "We Are TPM," hosts Kyle and John Teixeira dive into the critical role

of property inspections in managing rental properties. They examine various types of

inspections, and how they safeguard landlords and enhance tenant relations. These

inspections are crucial for landlords to avoid potential disputes and prepare properties

for turnovers efficiently. The Teixeira brothers emphasize the importance of detailed,

regular inspections and proactive maintenance, which can help landlords save money

and ensure properties are well-managed.

The discussion begins by highlighting the importance of move-in inspections, where

Kyle underscores that inspections provide "an objective piece of information for

disputing facts." This leads to a dialogue on renewal inspections, which not only aid in

keeping up with necessary repairs but also serve as a negotiation tool for rent rates.

John touches on the necessity of these inspections for providing peace of mind to

homeowners, stressing that "it's cheaper than taking care of it later." The episode

further explores the potential issues that can arise from deferred maintenance,

particularly in older properties, drawing attention to the complexities of managing rental

homes effectively.

Notable Quotes:

"You want to be fair. You have to be fair to your homeowner. If you're the homeowner,

you'd be fair to yourself, but you also want to be fair to the tenant." – John Teixeira

"Doing a detailed inspection with all the utilities on, checking appliances, checking

everything works. Like actually inspecting every part of the home that's good, that

could and can be used." – John Teixeira

"There's no better way to dispute their own claim than their own evidence." – Kyle
