3 Simple Ways to Increase the Value of Your Rental Property

Who doesn’t like a few extra bucks in their pocket each month?

In the worlds of real estate and property management, a little bit of love and effort can make a big difference. 

In helping countless landlords throughout the years, we’ve seen it time and time again at Arlington Realty Property Management - that little bit of time and energy up front can equate to a property edging out the competition, keeping tenants happy and, ultimately, more dough.

Here are three simple ways anyone can increase the value of their rental property:

1) Hit the curb! You don’t have to be a total green thumb to master the art of curb appeal. Touches to the exterior of your home – that almost anyone may do – include decluttering gardens, patching up browned grass, repairing walkways and conducted paint touch-ups where needed. 

2) Get painting. We touched on painting in the last bullet and now let’s head inside! Neutral can be the key word when it comes to attracting renters. As much as you may love that magenta kitchen or neon dining room, it may be time for a safer color?

3) Boost your amenities. If you’ve been renting for a while, what have you heard directly from past tenants about what they’d like to see? On the flip-side, what would you want? That added patio furniture, storage space or in-unit laundry could go a long way in attracting tenants and putting dough in your pocket.
