Field guide: Property Inspection Route Planner

Property management scatters obligations across a map on different clocks: move-out inspections tied to lease ends, periodic interior inspections on 3–6 month cycles, vendor-work verifications, drive-by exterior checks. The portfolio's geography never matches the calendar's order — which is why inspection days leak hours. Batch the week's due-list, paste it here, and turn scatter into one efficient loop per day.

Set durations by visit type: drive-by exteriors 10 minutes, periodic interiors 30–40, move-outs with documentation 60+. The ETA column doubles as your tenant-notice schedule — jurisdictions requiring entry notice ('between 10 and 12') are easier to honor when the route math is real. Pair each stop with photo documentation in your normal app; this tool keeps the day's geometry honest, offline, with addresses staying on your device.

Field tips

  • Batch by visit type where possible — a day of move-outs flows; mixing a 60-minute move-out between 10-minute drive-bys doesn't.
  • Send entry notices from the ETA column with ±1 h windows; honored windows are the cheapest tenant-relations win there is.
  • Add a recurring 'problem property' drive-by to every nearby route — frequency beats intensity for catching issues early.

Frequently asked questions

How many property visits fit in a day?+

Type decides: 15–20 exterior drive-bys, 8–10 periodic interiors, or 4–6 documented move-outs — and most days mix them. The honest plan comes from summing real durations plus the optimized drive; portfolios that route their due-lists typically reclaim a field day per week per manager.

How do tenant notice requirements interact with routing?+

Notice laws (24–48 h, often with stated windows) reward predictable routes: plan the day here FIRST, then issue notices with each stop's ETA ±1 hour. The anchor trick handles rigid agreements — fix the strictest window as the first stop and optimize around it. Missed windows create re-notices and resentment; the run sheet prevents both.

What about properties with multiple units?+

Treat the building as one stop with summed duration (4 units × 20 min + common areas). The optimizer cares about geography between addresses; your unit sequence inside the building can follow whatever the keys dictate. For scattered condos, each unit is its own stop.

Can this handle the seasonal inspection surge?+

That's its best month: lease-end clustering (summer turnovers, student markets) multiplies move-outs into exactly the dense, deadline-bound stop lists that routing rescues. Build each day from the due-by-date list, optimize, and the surge becomes a sequence instead of a scramble.
