Is it reasonable to expect my property manager to check out the home at least once in a year and make sure they're not trashing the place? How do I ask him if he has/can do this?

So, I don't do this, but I screen really well for my tenants. You can always offer a mid lease cleaning and ask the cleaning company to report back...may be cheaper than having a PM do it

Got it. Thank you

Why not do a health and safety checkup? Check fire alarm batteries, water leaks that can cause mold like under the kitchen sink, furnace vent clean out, furnace filter change, dryer vent clean out, clean gutters while you’re at it, and address moss on the roof. Seems like common sense to me on any home. I wouldn’t expect a tenant to do it. Every property management company is different. I’ve had some lesser version of this check in a high rise apartment rental.

Did you not have any sort of agreement with him about responsibilities? I would absolutely have him do at least an annual check. Especially before you renew a lease.

Yes it’s ok for you to ask.

It’s called an annual inspection.

Yes annual ( at least!) inspection should be in your agreement. We got lax with a property manager and it hurt us significantly when we went to sell. We had moved out of town for work and we definitely took our eye off the ball.

My property management company does inspections every quarter. I get charged an extra $75 fee each time but worth it to me

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?

How might I start to evaluate whether or not it’s worth it to keep my current primary residence and turn it into a rental, instead of selling and using the cash to roll into the next down payment for our next home? Currently in our “starter home” and thinking to upgrade in a few years. Some figures to consider for current house - 299k purchase price, 240k left on mortgage, could prob rent for 2250-2500/month, or sell for 375k. It’s in a desired school district, but in the “city” tax district.
