Prevent Loss of Control

As your business grows larger, it becomes harder to know the physical interior/exterior conditions of properties. As your knowledge of the units decreases, your problems most certainly will increase.

In order to prevent a loss of control over properties, you should consider a planned maintenance/condition survey. I say "survey" as opposed to "inspection" because there is a difference. An inspection is an examination in an official capacity ( i.e., licensed building contractor or a Certified Safety Inspector) versus a survey which is an examination with reference to condition.
