If you own rental property, your highest priority is to attract and keep the best possible and most qualified tenants. Having your property sit vacant looks bad for you as a landlord. While there may be market fluctuations or other reasons that your property is unrented, there are actions you can take to help ensure attracting the most ideal tenants.
Before you put your rental property on the market, make sure you have had it professionally cleaned and checked for any safety concerns. If there are any personal items on the premises, remove them and of course, make a new key for the property. Check the rental rates in your area to make sure you’re within competitive advantage.
A few touch-ups such as a new coat of paint refreshes property and makes it seem new. Some areas may need more work than areas, so make an assessment room by room. If your property is updated and clean, your best candidates will notice.
How does the property look from the outside as you drive by? It’s surprising what a few colorful flowers or green bushes can add. If your property has a front porch, is it inviting and comfortable looking? Porches can be a real plus to potential tenants.
