Protecting Your Investment: Mid-Year Property Check-Up Checklist for Las Vegas Owners
As a property owner in Las Vegas, staying ahead of maintenance isn’t just a smart move—it’s a necessary one. With soaring summer temps, desert dust, and wear from tenant turnover, the middle of the year is the perfect time to perform a proactive inspection and keep your investment performing at its best. This mid-year check-up checklist is designed to help you identify minor issues before they become costly problems and ensure your tenants stay satisfied.
Why a Mid-Year Property Check-Up?
Las Vegas summers are extreme, and waiting until the end of the year to handle property issues can lead to:
Higher repair costs during peak demand seasons
Emergency calls from tenants due to avoidable issues
Faster deterioration of your property's value and appeal
Regular check-ups protect your bottom line—and your peace of mind.
The Las Vegas Mid-Year Property Checklist
Exterior & Structure
Check for cracks or stucco damage: Heat expansion can create cracks in stucco or cause paint to fade or peel.
Inspect roof & gutters: Wind and dust storms can damage tiles or clog gutters.
Review landscaping & irrigation systems: Ensure drip systems are functional and plants are receiving adequate water without waste.
Test gates, fences, and locks: Metal can warp or rust in heat—make sure all entry points are secure.
HVAC & Energy Efficiency
Replace or clean A/C filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and stress the system—replace monthly in summer.
Test the thermostat: Confirm it's cooling efficiently and maintaining temperature.
Inspect ductwork: Sealing leaks can improve efficiency and reduce bills.
Clean solar panels (if installed): Dirt and debris can reduce their effectiveness by up to 25%.
Interior Essentials
Inspect for plumbing leaks: Look under sinks, around toilets, and at the water heater for signs of drips or corrosion.
Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors: Replace batteries and ensure each one works.
Check windows and door seals: Cracked seals can let in hot air and raise cooling costs.
Evaluate caulking and grout in kitchens/bathrooms: Deterioration can lead to water damage over time.
Tenant & Lease Considerations
Check for lease compliance: Are tenants honoring pet or guest rules? Any unauthorized modifications to the unit?
Send a mid-year tenant satisfaction survey: This small gesture can uncover hidden issues and build goodwill.
Review lease expirations: Plan ahead for renewals or listing to avoid vacancy gaps.
Optional Upgrades That Add Long-Term Value
Smart thermostats or locks: Increase security and efficiency
Shade screens or window tinting: Help reduce energy costs
Low-maintenance desert landscaping: Cuts down on water usage and upkeep
