A landlord is legally obligated to attend to the maintenance of their rental property. They must arrange for things like fixing the hinges on doors or sealing leaky pipes. This is part of the standard agreement, though not all landlords have the time or expertise to handle these themselves.
The best solution is to be proactive in your approach to home maintenance. Making sure the tenants have nothing to complain about, you need to keep on hand a team that is efficient, professional and knows what they are doing.
When the time comes to sell, if everything is in good or perfect condition, that makes the agent’s job much simpler. The house can easily speak for itself.
However, there are times when this is not the case. Sometimes, little things can be a cause for concern. The best move is to be a proactive homeowner and to go over the entirety of the property on a regular basis.
If you are ever in a position to sell, to sell for the best price, a property has to make a good impression. In any housing market, buyers will often take any sensible reason to negotiate at a lower price point.

Homeowners last thorough inspection is a pre-purchase inspection that usually outdated. General upkeep and unpredictable weather events can cause quite extensive issues if left unattended for large periods of time. When was the last time your investment property was inspected?
