Unit Turnover Checklist: What Actually Happens Between Tenants
What's in this episode
Send us Fan Mail Turnovers are one of those parts of being a landlord that either quietly build your profit, or quietly drain it. After doing more of them than I can count, Kevin and I finally sat down and walked through exactly how we handle every single one, from the moment a tenant gives notice to the day we hand a new tenant their keys. I'm covering the non-negotiable safety and maintenance checks we run every time, the paint and flooring calls that make a unit feel brand new without blowing the budget, and the deep cleaning details most landlords skip but shouldn't. We also get into how we decide when to start marketing a vacant unit, and the legal check most landlords forget before they ever post a new listing.
