What REALLY Happens In A Rental Inspection [In The Field Friday]

The Property Academy Podcast · Oct 15, 2026 · 23m

I own five rental properties, and I've never once inspected one myself. You just get a report, a few photos, maybe a line saying it's fine.

So, I spent a morning shadowing a property manager on three real inspections.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew take you inside what actually happens in the 20 minutes someone's in your rental.

You'll learn:

What a property manager actually looks for

How a good PM handles a messy or difficult tenant

What the inspection report doesn't show you

The takeaway? There's a lot more to protecting your rental than the photos in your report.
