I have a property out of state that needs the furnace filter changed. If I ordered the filters for them, would it be reasonable to have my tenant change it? Or should I get someone out there to change it? I'm good either way, just can't go myself and wondering what people typically do.

It is in the attic and I don't think the tenant has ever been up there or seen the furnace. It was a new build when they moved in.

Don't send your tenant in the attic. That's the homeowner kind of stuff I was trying to avoid as a renter for many years.

Plus it's a liability if the attic floor isn't finished?

You should hire a handyman to do this, especially up in the attic

Agree on hiring a handyman. I wouldn't gown it task rabbit for the same reason I wouldn't have my tenants crawl into the attic to change a filter: there's a not-insignificant chance they will not know where to walk in the attic and fall through the ceiling.

Definitely hire a handyman. Not only because the unit is in the attic, but also because it gets a fresh set of eyes inside the property.

To find one, I’d suggest one of:
- joining a neighborhood Facebook group and searching for past posts about handymen
- task rabbit / Angie’s list (be sure any handyman at least has an LLC. I wouldn’t hire anyone who hasn’t at least gone thru that step)

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
