Sounds like a good property manager you have there, although I would have felt uncomfortable at the inference that you SHOULD be there. I offer my clients the opportunity and encourage them if they havent seen the property in a couple of years, but you are very correct, that is what you pay her for. Every landlord is individual in their needs, some are very hands on and others dont want to know a thing. I do think it is very important for landlords to view their properties once in a while to stay familiar with the general condition and wear and tear of their property. It is very disspointing when a landlord doesnt want to know about their property then 5 years on goes in and is suprised that the walls need paintintg or the carpet is worn and doesnt look exactly the same as it did last time they saw it!
