Repairs, vendors, and receipts

Turnover is a pipeline, not an event: move-out checkout, damage scoping, make-ready, marketing, and the new move-in record. The money leaks in the dead gaps between those stages, not in the work itself. Every vacant day on a $1,800 unit costs $60, and a loose turn quietly burns one to two extra weeks. The fix is a structured handoff where each stage produces a dated, signed record that feeds the next: the move-out walkthrough scopes the make-ready, the make-ready receipts double as deposit-deduction proof and the new tenant's baseline, and nothing waits on a text that never got answered. This guide covers all five stages, the gaps that cost you, a make-ready scope table, and a calculator for your own numbers.
