  • Instructions:

    This inspection will help you document the condition of the property to help you determine what needs to be done to bring the property to move-in-ready condition. It will also help you protect your investment in case the resident caused damage that needs to be repaired.

    Answering "yes" to a question indicates that everything is in order. Answering "no" indicates that something is not as it should be. Certain questions will require you to add a "note" if you answer "no." Type a brief explanation of what is wrong.

    Add rooms by pressing the "+" button next to the type of room. If there is more than one of that type of room, describe where the room is located on the "room location" question: cardinal direction (N, SE, etc.), which floor (if applicable), etc.

    Note that you do not need to add "media" on every question. You will be instructed to take pictures of each area and close-ups of any particular problems.
