4 things a landlord can do to “update” their rental property without spending a fortune!
Keeping your rental property looking updated and appealing to stay competitive in the rental market can be expensive at times. Here are a few ideas that don't cost a fortune that could make all the difference in the world. New Blinds – there is nothing that “brings down the house” than walking in and seeing dated sun-faded, bent, tangled blinds. It’s like walking into a police confession room where you are far from the warm and fuzzy feeling you were hoping for. Install 2-inch vinyl blinds in white or wood to bring attention to the natural lighting of the home and create a clean maintained look just as they walk in. Paint the front door – A friend painted her front door bright yellow. It’s just so happy and inviting. A freshly painted crisp clean front door will do a home wonders and create a pleasing accent to the eye as a potential tenant approaches. Modern kitchen faucet – I don’t know about you, but kitchens are where it all happens most of the time in any home. It’s where we gather with our friends and our family. It’s cheesy but it’s true. Installing a modern faucet in the room makes a difference. It can make even the oldest laminate countertop loo “retro” instead of “old”. Upgrade vinyl flooring areas – You know the white 4x4 squares with hints of dark green or gray in them. In its place, put a modern “tile” looking vinyl over the top, the difference will amaze you. Flooring can make a house look 20 years newer in an instant. Updated cabinets or maybe even repainting can also add a clean, fresh, updated look to your property.
