Unknown Speaker 0:11
I'm Jake, by the way, I'm Nick.
Unknown Speaker 0:14
Do you have any questions for me about the property?
Speaker 1 0:16
I mean, Audra has some, and she's about to get here. She's just heading home right now from the hospital. So, okay, yeah, she works in, uh, assisted living hospice type stuff. I mean, we have a shared note of some stuff and, like, I'm not sure she has the form ready yet. I've been doing stuff like non stop around here, but there are a few things like number one, in the front and backyard. There's like, broken glass everywhere, um, especially the backyard. But she pointed out some spots out here. I don't know if she picked some of it up, but yeah, the back where that tree was kind of like taken off. It looks like there was, like, there's putting bottles on there and either shooting them or something, because they're just, like, exploded everywhere. And luckily, we caught it before we let the, like, the dog out, yeah, yeah. There's like, some pieces here, like this guy, 22 casing.
Speaker 2 1:09
Interesting? I think I don't it kind of looks like a 22 casing, but I'm not sure think it might be a little small.
Speaker 1 1:18
Um, yeah. So that's one thing. Is like, broken glass in the front and back. And I don't know if there's a way that, like, we can get someone to come get the glass. I'll look into it for sure. Yeah, and the backyard has, like, a lot of, like, buried plastic.
Speaker 2 1:31
Okay, interesting, like, beautiful
Speaker 1 1:35
altogether. Like, I absolutely in love with the house, but, yeah, we were just like, it's like a very tennis stuff front door. So the funny thing with this box was, like, when I emailed you guys, this was still locked, I kind of just jiggled it and it came open. It seems to be locking now, but I'm assuming it was just the one lock here. Okay, but this guy still works perfect, and still is the dead bolt up top. Okay. Oh, she sweet. Your
Unknown Speaker 2:07
Legolas scared
Speaker 1 2:07
this. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. That's all right. I forget, like, you know, let me
Speaker 2 2:12
take a picture of the some of the glass so that I can provide it. Forget,
Speaker 1 2:16
most normal people don't have Lord of the Rings memorabilia, just,
Speaker 2 2:19
well, just not necessarily a life size person. As soon as you walk in, right,
Speaker 1 2:25
I do a T shirt pop up with some friends, where we just make, like, kind of ridiculous designs. We use that Legolas one, and we're getting a Pamela Anderson one soon, like on either side of our setup, very
Unknown Speaker 2:36
nice, which is insane. So yeah.
Speaker 2 2:41
And if you could show me the area in the backyard with the glass, yeah, I'm seeing
Unknown Speaker 2:47
you. Just want to
Speaker 1 2:48
do the glass first, yeah, just to like, more stuff in the garage and bathrooms and stuff, yeah,
Speaker 2 2:53
just to break things down into different sections, yeah, yeah. That
Speaker 1 3:00
definitely looks like a 22 casing, but it's like, not, there's no pin in the back, which I'm, like, really confused about, all right, another backyard. Yeah, I just spent a good chunk of the day, like, sleeping out and mop in the garage, just because, like, I've always wanted a garage Nice. So I'm definitely pumped for that. I again, some I didn't even know it was over here too. Like, one reason I'm worried is because my dog's, like, slightly dumb enough to do it.
Unknown Speaker 3:39
Yeah, it's all mainly back in the corner by
Speaker 1 3:44
where that cut down tree is. So, yeah, there's, like, just some trash throughout. I'm not worried about fire things. We're definitely getting one as soon as we can. Yeah, yeah, just random bits of plastic. There is a very, it looks like a tennis canister. Oh, yeah, it's very tennis canister right here. Okay, the jar, yeah, I can throw them out. Just kind of like point that stuff out. Update, that's probably just my dogs. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 4:22
we picked up a lot of glass, but there's still pieces like here,
Speaker 1 4:27
kind of all around the thing. There's still some on top and in the middle, some ceramic things. Yeah, back here, there's more, what looks like broken plates, bottles, more bottles. I
Unknown Speaker 4:45
a shredded metal.
Speaker 2 4:54
Okay, cool. I have, like, a general idea for sure that I can present. I don't know
Speaker 1 5:01
anything about the last minute, but the house is, like, the scene, it's just like, back here. And I was like, what?
Unknown Speaker 5:07
Yeah, they question.
Speaker 1 5:13
Hey, you won't have any trouble with us. At least this is a garage. There's a few things. There's just, like, a lot of it's not like a beautiful, like, super finished thing, but, like, there is just, like, a lot of extra holes, which I'll probably end up like, I don't know if you have, like, this white paint. I saw there was a bunch of paint above there in that thing. So, you know, I can blast her over and fix, oh, Poppy, come here. Let's go inside. Just want to speak part of everything glued to me, yeah, just like, just like, a lot of nail holes all throughout here, and the ceiling is part of what concerns me in here. I just want to double check it. Everything's all good with it, because it has, like, that tape on it and stuff, which I can always add more do whatever.
Speaker 2 6:03
Yeah, the tape is typically for, like, floating and taping, and they just didn't, it's not completely finished. All
Speaker 1 6:10
good. I mean, yeah, I just need to add more whatever type of taping that is. And, like, I love doing handy stuff, so that's want to make sure. Yeah, just so like, slot little holes and stuff, but, you know, just making sure that's noticed before,
Speaker 2 6:24
yeah, any, any of like, this small, especially, like, what is the word I'm looking for? Esthetic, yeah, esthetic. Or, like, like maintenance, like small little maintenance things where you, like, touch ups that those things that we don't come out, okay,
Speaker 1 6:48
you know, handle. It's just the stuff my wife wrote down. And I would, I would
Speaker 2 6:51
highly recommend, this is what I recommend to everybody, take a, like, video of the property, or, like, definitely write everything down in your inventory checklist, yeah. So make sure you're as thorough as you can with that. Take a video of anything that
Speaker 1 7:11
yeah, videos and yeah and everything is it, is it video for the timestamp, or it's
Speaker 2 7:16
just a video so that, like, you have, like, a backing, right? So, okay, say you you notice something you draw, or maybe it was fine, or is it just either way? Either way. There's no, I just say a video, because, like, photos, you'll be like, boom, boom, boom, boom. Or like, right? If there's, oh, with the video, you could go back, and then you could also, like, take it, zoom in on like, as you're going through the video. And that's like, a good idea for any sort of situation where, like, say something were to happen, and, like, you didn't write down that maybe there was a crack or something, right? Yeah, and you happen to have a video of the crack, right? So okay, then you can go back and say, Hey, like, we actually, this was here when we moved in. We
Speaker 1 8:14
don't, we don't need to terribly worried, but just about, like, little nail holes and that kind of stuff. No,
Speaker 2 8:19
I Yeah, some throughout the beam, which I'm not worried about. But also that's, like, that's what the videos for, right? Like, you know, take video of minor cosmetic stuff. I would, I would, in all honesty, the you you can't get everything in your inventory form, right? And when it, yeah, comes down to it, someone's gonna come in and maybe like, oh, like, this is something that they didn't know in their inventory form. This could be something that happened while they were here. And then you're like, Oh, I actually have a video that says, yeah, the
Speaker 1 8:48
main thing is definitely just like the glass and the front and back stuff is just because it's kind of kind of like everywhere, yeah, absolutely worried about the whole thing is here. Um, yeah, a lot of it's just sort of like cosmetic stuff, like unfinished exposed wood in base of larger bathroom. That's what she wrote. So, unfinished, unexposed wood. Oh, just, I guess,
Unknown Speaker 9:14
too low there's like unfinished wood, I don't know,
Speaker 2 9:18
yeah, within it, that's kind of like this little piece right here. Those are all, like, cosmetic things, okay,
Unknown Speaker 9:26
yeah, with those sorts of things, I just tell people like,
Speaker 2 9:30
you aren't purchasing the property, right? So those aren't really things that we would come in and fix. They're just like, and, I mean, it's, it's, those are fantastic things to note in your inventory form, right?
Speaker 1 9:41
I will, yeah, we'll take it. Yeah, take care of that for the inventory form. I know we're supposed to have it done like today, but
Speaker 2 9:46
it's okay take your time. I know that moving it takes a lot. She's got here, so I wouldn't, I wouldn't worry too much. Hey, how's it going? Jake, he
Speaker 1 9:56
was just saying for cosmetic stuff, just to get video of it, you know, take videos and we'll send it with our inventory sheet whenever we're done with that. Yeah, I show them the glass in the front and back and stuff, just because, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 10:07
they had to be shooting bottles. It
Speaker 2 10:09
seemed that way. There definitely seems to be like holes in cans out there. So it's also just like kind of debris, like, it almost looks like something, like flooded or something. It's mainly the glass that we were okay. For sure. Yeah, that's definitely something that I've noted down. If there's anything else that y'all have concerns about or have questions in regarding. I mean, it seems pretty straightforward, like going to the app you put in, like, maintenance requests, yeah, anything that happens with functioning items, like a door, a window, anything like that, but like the small, little esthetic type stuff, those things that we won't come out and fix, right? All right?
Speaker 1 10:53
And then I know trash day is Tuesday. Is recycling the same day as trash. So
Speaker 2 10:59
there's actually a website. I don't have it offhand, but you can just Google Austin, like trash, and it will provide you with a website that gives you a calendar that shows you trash recycling and like the compost days. All right, cool, anything you need to see or look through or no. I mean, I was just here to get y'all feedback. Have some comments, and then the last thing that I need to do is, like, go through my little spiel. But outside of that, just wanted to make sure that y'all had everything that, or like, all those connected to the lease. Yeah, it should be, it should be at the end of the lease, so after everything that you've signed, then it should be the inventory form, and then it's like the mold form that tells you about mold, and that's also in the folio out, I believe it is. It's definitely was sent to y'all, and y'all see emails. Okay, okay, so air filter? Do y'all know your air filter is? I believe in this guy? Yeah, I believe it's either that or it's right underneath it. So, yeah, you pull that thing up, this, this thing up, yeah, and that's where
Unknown Speaker 12:15
your air filter cream
Speaker 2 12:17
cool. And then your electric box, I believe is in the garage. Oh,
Speaker 1 12:22
yeah, I saw that earlier. Okay, I got a shelf in front of it right now, but I know where it's at,
Speaker 2 12:25
cool and then just so you all know, appliances, everything but the fridge, washer and dryer. Y'all are bringing your own washer and dryer. So it's just the fridge on this site. So the fridge, if something were to happen to it, we'd send somebody out, but it would be at your expense. We do provide you with newer appliances. So that shouldn't happen within the realm of your lease, right? Yeah, but if it were an expense that you didn't want to pay for, we could take it offside, and y'all could replace it with your own fridge, right? So what I usually say, don't sink, like, a lot of your money into somebody else's appliances, right? You're not going to take the fridge with you when you leave. Yeah? So if it's more than you want to pay, then that would be something that would be ideal.
Speaker 1 13:06
And I guess one question for me, because I know we talked about yard stuff at one point. So say, I do plant flowers and they grow and they're great, and I just leave them. How much would I be charged for that? Since I know it's not leaving it as I guess it was, but like, you know, it'd be a shame that, like,
Speaker 2 13:21
Yeah, I think that's a great question. I think that that wouldn't that's not like a detriment onto the public, right? Because,
Speaker 1 13:29
yeah, like, whoever we talking to, we're just like, oh, just gotta leave it the same as you got it. And I'm like,
Speaker 2 13:33
Yeah, I think as is, is, like, for the most part, like, the interior, okay, anything that we'd have to send out for somebody to change,
Speaker 1 13:42
right? Not gonna build anything crazy out there, yeah, plant some flowers, yeah.
Speaker 2 13:45
So if you, like, painted the walls a color that was like an accident or something like that, you would be charged for that, right? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 13:53
And we do have extra paint here. I believe up in that, that
Speaker 2 13:57
thing, yeah? So with, with discretion, the like, fixing things and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 14:05
Yeah, there's like, a nick in the wall, you know, one day when we do eventually leave, like, you know, I can find that paint and use the paint over the nicks and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2 14:12
that, I mean, if so we we recommend that you don't paint, because a lot of times, if that is the case, then we'll have to come in and, like, paint over what you painted. Okay? So just because it's gonna still be kind of funky, it could be right? Like, yeah, if you don't have professional painting experience, and you don't have the ability to fix it to where we can't tell, right, then I would recommend, like, don't worry about that kind of stuff for the most part, right? Because, if it, if we come in and we inspect and there's like, a bunch of like, obvious paint swatches on the walls, then there they would charge you for painting that wall, right? Rather than somebody coming in and touching up the wall. Does that makes sense. And then, moving forward, y'all are responsible for pest control, and then yard maintenance as well. And then, like I was saying, any cosmetic issues we won't come out and fix, but functional issues we will. And then there will be a one time maintenance inspection that's gonna be, like, closer to the winter months. They'll inform you, like, three weeks in advance, it'll be at your schedule. He's just coming out to check the air filter, smoke detectors, like those
Speaker 1 15:28
important things. And just so what is the, what's,
Unknown Speaker 15:33
is there, like, a rough plan or
Unknown Speaker 15:35
idea you have for the glass or, honestly,
Speaker 2 15:38
I don't know yet, I have to check, okay, conversation, yeah, I have to have a conversation with them about it and see what is the move and how we're gonna go about handling Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1 15:53
awesome. Thanks. Appreciate it. This beautiful place I'm I don't wanna
Speaker 2 15:59
leave, yeah, I hope y'all enjoy it. I'm sorry that that was one of your experiences of moving in. That can definitely be hard with the dog. So I'll try and get back to y'all early next week in regards to that. Because, yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay. Sound good. Anything else that y'all need? Perfect. Sounds great. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely Y'all have a great rest of your day.
