In this episode, Cody and Meagan dive into a brand-new topic for the podcast—maintenance! As the busy season approaches, it’s crucial to ensure your property is in top shape. That’s why they’re breaking down the five most important maintenance tasks to focus on during March Maintenance Madness so your hotel or short-term rental is fully prepped for peak season.

🛠 The 5 Most Important Maintenance Items:
1️⃣ Sinking Fund – Have a reserve set aside for unexpected repairs and ongoing maintenance to avoid costly surprises.
2️⃣ Specialty Services – Schedule essential services like pest control, window washing, landscaping, and HVAC checks to keep your property in pristine condition.
3️⃣ Deep Cleaning – Now’s the time for a full-property refresh, including carpets, upholstery, walls, and hard-to-reach areas.
4️⃣ Room Maintenance – Go through every single unit and check the small but important details like loose bolts, HDMI cables, TV remotes, batteries, and more.
5️⃣ Inspections – Conduct a thorough property walkthrough to catch issues before guests do. Check for leaks, wear and tear, safety hazards, and anything that needs a quick fix before peak season hits.
