The move in inspection is without a doubt one of the most important aspects of moving into a rental home or apartment. At first glance, it may look like everything is in tip top condition. However, as you dig a little deeper, you may notice otherwise. Before you become the official new resident, you need to make sure every bit of damage is properly noted. If it is not properly noted beforehand, you may be held liable for it when you are ready to move out.

A landlord’s job can be very stressful at times. They want to keep their tenant’s happy, their expenses low and they want their time and energy to be worth the income. With a full schedule of properties to manage and a never-ending to-do list, landlords can find themselves stressed out trying to juggle everything and separating each properties needs from the others.

Being a landlord is challenging enough between maintaining a property you’re not living in to dealing with difficult tenants. When you’re the type of landlord that is emotionally attached to your property, things can be even more challenging. Your job is to run a real estate investment of your property and not to look at the property as anything more than a business.
