We take 150-200 photos of the property in the initial onboarding phase. Each time we visit the property we will add photos to the property photo library. New photos are taken at each move out and before each move in. Repair photos are also taken and added to the property photo library.
We also have a professional inspection done at least once during the lease term and that includes photos and condition of the property.
