Protect a rental property investment.
Condition reviews for landlords and investors, covering safety, upkeep and what a rental needs before a tenant.
Rental Inspection
A rental property is a business asset, and small problems tend to grow when no one looks. A rental inspection gives landlords and investors an outside view of how the property is holding up. It helps you plan repairs before they become emergencies. Good records also help when you talk with insurers, lenders or property managers.
Caleb Charbonneau reviews the property's major systems and general condition and documents what needs attention. It works for a house you are considering buying as an investment or one you already own. Tenants also gain from safer, better kept homes. A regular review keeps small problems small, and that protects both your income and your tenants.
What a landlord learns.

- Electrical safety concerns

The right time to call.
Three situations where this inspection earns its keep.
Before buying an investment home
Investors can compare what a property needs against its price, and plan a realistic repair budget before closing on the deal.
Between tenants
Turnover is a natural point to review the home, record its condition and fix issues before the next lease begins.
As part of regular upkeep
Some owners schedule periodic reviews to catch roof, plumbing and air conditioning trouble while it is still small and inexpensive to fix.
Good to know.
Is this useful if I already own the home?
Yes. Many owners use it to understand current condition, set a maintenance plan and keep records. Problems found early are often cheaper to fix than ones discovered after a tenant reports them. Keeping dated reports also builds a useful history of the property over time.
Does it cover local rental codes?
Caleb inspects condition and safety as an inspector. Local rental registration or code requirements vary by city and county, and he is not a code enforcement office. Check with your local government for specific rules. A friendly local government office can usually point you to the right rules.
Can a tenant request one?
Tenants sometimes want an independent look at a home they are renting or about to rent. Talk with your landlord first, since access to the property is needed and lease terms apply. Stay patient and ask your landlord politely.
Often booked together.
