Walk the unit with photos
Photograph every room and note damage and wear. A walk with a checklist keeps you consistent from unit to unit.
Walls and paint
Patch holes, fix cracks and repaint. Using one durable color across units makes touch-ups easy.
Floors
Check for stains, scratches and loose boards. Clean or repair flooring, and replace what cannot be saved.
Locks and security
Rekey locks between tenants. Check door latches, deadbolts and window locks.
Fixtures and appliances
Test lights, outlets, faucets, toilets and appliances. Replace blinds, bulbs and filters.
Cleaning and final photos
A deep clean makes the unit show well. Take final photos for marketing and for your records.
Our advice in one sentence
Use the same checklist every turn, and use durable materials so each turn is faster than the last.
