Bill Rice from Utah Property Solutions explains how they help homeowners prepare their property for rent through owner walkthrough videos. These videos provide a detailed tour of the home, pointing out necessary repairs and improvements to make the property "rent ready." He highlights the importance of first impressions, such as power washing the exterior and maintaining landscaping. Deferred maintenance issues like worn-out trim or deck staining are noted for future attention, while safety issues like loose railings or unstable shelves are addressed immediately. Inside the home, patching and painting walls, cleaning, removing personal items, and ensuring all appliances and fixtures are functional are key steps. Items left behind by the owner, like furniture or décor, are removed to create a clean and neutral space for new tenants. In the garage, leftover materials are sorted, but potential liabilities like ceiling hooks or improperly mounted shelves are removed. Overall, the goal is to simplify the property, address safety concerns, and set clear expectations for future tenants.
