Aggressive Marketing

A yard sign and a craigslist ad may have worked in the past, but today it takes a lot more. Take the time to write a descriptive and accurate ad, and include a variety of high-quality photos. Share on your social media accounts with an easy way for interested tenants to contact you.

Move-in Ready

Making the right updates and improvements to your rental is a great way to help it get the right attention. Be sure the home is clean inside and out. Open blinds or shutters to allow in available natural light. Repace any faulty hardware on doors, cabinets, and drawers. Lights should function, and toilets flush. Quality tenants don’t expect perfection, but if the rental appears dirty and neglected, they’ll keep looking.

Curb Appeal

Making a good first impression when a tenant is considering your rental property is important. Make sure the lawn is mowed, pathways clean, & bushes or trees trimmed. A quick wash of the exterior with the hose or a pressure washer will remove dust, dirt, cobwebs, and leave a fresh clean appearance.

Accept Pets

Many qualified tenants will only consider rentals that accepts pets. You can protect your property from potential damage from pets by thorough screening, insurance, and even by asking for a pet deposit, or pet fee.

Customer Service

When a tenant has a question, concern, or an emergency, make sure you respond right away. Be considerate of their specific needs and situation. Keeping a happy tenant can limit turnover and ensure they don’t feel the need to look elsewhere.

Getting the most income from your property will take some effort on your behalf to do. However, this is entirely possible by making the right moves and taking actions that will pay off for you in the long run.
