The Importance of Disaster Inspections for Vacant Single-Family Rental Properties After Major Storms

Hurricane Helene has finalized its approach to land and will make complete landfall in the United States on September 26, 2024, bringing with it the typical but often catastrophic aftermath of a major storm. The number one priority when a storm like this hits is for the safety of everyone in the impacted areas.  For single family rental property owners and managers, the priority then shifts to assessing potential damage and ensuring the safety of the affected properties. One crucial step in this process is conducting comprehensive disaster inspections, especially for vacant single-family rental properties. These inspections help identify any damage, protect property investments, and ensure future tenant safety.
