Is Your Property “Rent Ready”?

Are you a property owner that is looking to rent out your property or currently rent out your property? There are many things you will want to do to make sure your home is “rent ready”. The better maintained and looking that your property is, the more tenants it will attract. This in turn will ensure that your property will rent out faster than others available. We have provided a list of 11 steps you will want to take in order to make sure your property is “rent ready”.  Have you taken care of these prior to renting out your property?

1.    Re-key the locks. You never know who may have a set of old keys to your property.  Another good idea is to reset the alarm for your house. Re-keying and recoding locks makes old keys unusable. If you live in a condo or townhome make sure you have all HOA-issued gate remotes and codes, plus keys to any community pools and fitness centers.

2.    Professionally clean the carpets. Un-cleaned carpets are a common mistake we see with property owners. Not having the carpets cleaned prior to a tenant moving in will turn off many tenants.  Professional “full-steam and shampoo” carpet cleaning works best – you don’t want any residue left because it can attract dirt.

3.    Improve the yard. A well taken care lawn will appeal to more people. The yard is one of the first things a tenant will see, and the better looking it is, the more inclined they will be to like the property. Some examples to improve your yard include: cutting the grass, trim the bushes, prune the trees, pull the weeds, fix broken sprinkler heads, replace dead or dying shrubbery, and add some new flowering plants.

4.    Change the air filters. Changing the air filters is a great way to maintain your system. Cleaning the vents is also a good idea. Disposable air filters don’t require monthly cleaning (like reusable ones) and make for one less maintenance item your tenant needs to remember.

5.    Get your property professionally cleaned. Renters expect their rental property to be clean for move-in, so have the property professionally cleaned. Investing some money into a cleaning service and having a clean property will not only attract more renters, but is a great way to maintain the look your home.

6.    Let in the light. Replace any broken light bulbs; consider putting in energy-efficient bulbs, which reduce energy costs and don’t need to be replaced as often. Replacing light bulbs with energy efficient ones will be something tenants will appreciate as it will lower their monthly costs.
7.    Inspect ceiling fans. If you property has ceiling fans, make sure they have been cleaned and work properly.
8.    Inspect and clean windows and sliding glass doors. Windows and (especially) sliding glass doors can easily build up dirt. A good cleaning will not only let in more light, but may help them work better.

9.    Clean, repair or replace screens. Torn screens can allow pests into your rental property (besides being a security and visual problem). So repairing or replacing screens may save you money (less visits from your pest-control company) and give you peace of mind.

10.    Spray for pests. It’s better to have the property sprayed on a regular schedule than to wait until there’s a pest problem. You’ll definitely want to hire a professional pest control company to give your property a full treatment for all of the common bugs in your area.

11.    Paint, repair and fix. Fix any holes in the walls before applying a fresh new coat of paint. Repair or replace any carpet that shows signs of damage (or doesn’t come clean after a professional carpet cleaning). Fix or replace any damaged tiles.

By taking care of the above items it will not only provide a great maintenance plan for your property for years of renting, but it will allow you to attract more renters to your property. These items are not high costs items, but will provide your property the basic needs to make sure your property is “rent ready” for the next tenant.

How to Decorate Your Rental Home to Look and Feel Bigger

What you may feel you lack in space in your place can be made up for with some innovative and thoughtful decorating. Try these tips to add visual square footage to your rental home.

Scale your furniture
Avoid large pieces of furniture in a small rental home, except as select focal points for a room. When you choose your furniture style, make it as streamlined as possible, avoiding thick, dark wood and opting instead for lighter-colored pieces that utilize glass and metal. Because these materials reflect light, they appear to occupy less space.

Go double-duty
With less space to spare, nearly all the furniture you own should multitask for you. As you have no room for clutter and possibly limited closet space, as well, purchase pieces which offer storage either with drawers, shelves, or space underneath.

Limit your stuff
A small space requires every surface to be as clean as possible. In the kitchen, stow away small appliances under the counter, on shelves or in a pantry closet. To get pots and pans out of the way, ask your landlord if you can hang a rack above your stove.

To further streamline your décor, kiss knick-knacks goodbye. Fewer items mean less to dust and less to take up space in your home. And the less surface area you give yourself, the less tempted you’ll be to stack things on it. With that in mind, buy a shredder for documents, and stow a filing cabinet or filing boxes in a closet out of the way.

Don’t spare the color
The general recommendation for decorating small spaces is to keep to a neutral palette, but if that’s not your style, why limit yourself? You may choose to surround yourself with the colors you love, but consider avoiding the darkest shades of your favorite palette.

With limited space, you may probably be able to see one room from the other; avoid abrupt color changes, which will halt the gaze. Instead, use shades of the same color family that will blend together. For contrast, paint an accent wall at the end of the house, where your eye would come to rest naturally. Also, try small color accents that pop in the form of throw pillows, wall hangings, and area rugs.

Let there be light
Accentuate the natural light your rooms receive by using sheer window dressings that don’t sacrifice privacy. Mirrors can also amplify light. Enlarge your rental home instantly by placing one or more mirrors across from a bright window.

You really can make more space out of less with some thoughtful decorating in your home. The added bonus is you’ll be able to enjoy the feeling of extra square footage without an increase in rent!

Three Secrets to Profitably Renting Your House to the Right Tenants

It’s not easy being a landlord. You have to get your house ready to rent. You have to advertise to get perspective renters. You have to select the right renters. And then you have to be at their beck and call in the case that they have a problem with the house. And then you have to collect the rent when they’re late or evict them when they don’t keep their promise to you. What a headache!

Or you can learn the secrets to being successful landlord and put all those headaches behind you. Here are three secrets to successfully renting out your house.

SECRET ONE: SCOPE OUT THE COMPETING PROPERTIES

To find out what you need to do to maximize your success, tour competing properties in your immediate area, acting as if you are prospective renter. You can find out how the other landlords treat their prospects and steal their best methods and make them your own.

Make sure that you pick up copies of their marketing material-that is what they give prospective renters to take away to remind them of what they saw.

Ask for a rental application to see what kind of things they’re looking for. Ask if they have a sample lease agreement that you can review. Not every landlord will make this available to you, but it’s worth asking for. (Look at my other articles for a free rental lease that you can use as an example.)

If you want to have the complete experience, fill out a rental application and see how you’re treated. You can just say that you found some other place or changed your mind if they pick you to rent the house.

If you do this with half a dozen properties, you’ll get a great idea of property conditions, rent ranges, and terms and conditions that are common in your area. If you’re new landlord, this experience can teach you a lot in very short time.

With this information it will be easy to see if it’s worth it for you to rent your home, or if you want to let somebody else manage it, or if you want to put on the market to sell.

SECRET TWO: MAKE YOUR HOUSE VERY DESIRABLE

If your house is just like every other house on the block or like every other apartment in the building, it will be difficult to attract a great renter that will take care of your house and pay the rent on time.

On the other hand, a clearly superior home will attract better renters and allow you to command a higher rent. The kind of people who you want as good tenants will be embarrassed by a dingy and worn-out home. They won’t want to bring their friends and family into that environment.

This means you need to invest a little extra in the house to make it look great. With the information you gathered from Secret One, above, you can decide how to put minor upgrades into your home that really stand out from the competition.

I do simple things like upgrade light fixtures, install new flooring and carpeting, replace the kitchen sink, replace the bathroom sink, and replace the drip pans on the stove so it looks fresh and clean.

Consider fresh paint or carefully touch up the walls so everything looks clean and tidy.

I also make sure that the property is absolutely spotless, with clean windows, clean entryway, and professionally cleaned carpets. I also replaced all the light bulbs with maximum wattage bulbs so that the house is as bright as possible. A dark house doesn’t show well but a bright house moves fast.

SECRET THREE: SET YOUR RENT AT LEAST 10 PERCENT HIGHER

 A slightly higher rent then the competing properties won’t scare away the type of renters you’re looking for, but will move along the cheap skates that you don’t need in your house. And besides, it will be worth it to your renters because your house looks so much better since you’ve followed Secret Two, above.

To make your higher rent stick, create a marketing page that calls out all the valuable capabilities and features of your home.
