Rental properties are a great source of income, but only if you’re consistently enticing reliable, long-term tenants. Market competition can be fierce, so it’s important to stand out. Instead of a complete remodel, work with a contractor to upgrade areas on the property to boost its appeal.

Tips for Appealing to Reliable Renters

1. Boost Curb Appeal

Many renters window-shop when looking at properties, and they’re going to overlook yours if it doesn’t make a solid first impression. Curb appeal plays an integral role, so dedicate time to landscaping and upgrading outdoor spaces so that it photographs well for an online ad. Paint the exterior if it’s fading and add plants and outdoor light fixtures to create more character. Hire a dedicated landscaping team to maintain the property so you can be confident it always looks presentable.

2. Add More Amenities

contractorsWhether you’re renting out a single home or a unit in a complex, you need to add unique amenities to attract renters. Pool construction is a fantastic place to start if your rental home has a spacious backyard, and a contractor can suggest other trends, like an outdoor entertainment space or fire pit. You can also include washers and dryers in apartment units or free Internet, security features, and luxury appliances.

3. Update Fixtures

New fixtures throughout a home can completely transform the interior. Swap dated faucets, doorknobs, ceiling fans, and other components with new items in chic metals. Brass and stainless steel are popular replacements, and they add an element of modern sophistication to any design style. Add sconces outside the front door for another quick, cost-effective fix. For a bigger impact, work with a contractor to tear down walls to create an open floor plan.
