Spring Investment Property Maintenance Checklist: Part 2

Spring is here! Now that winter is over, it's the time to start thinking about spring maintenance around your rental properties. Winter can wreak havoc on a property and the sooner you find and address potential problems, the better.
In Part 2 of our Spring Maintenance Checklist series, we are addressing items to check and tasks to perform on the exterior of a property. Part 1 addressed the interior, and Part 3 will address tenant checks and communications.
If you have any questions or can think of something we missed, send us a message. We would love to add to our list!

Happy Spring!
