Vacant units mean lost opportunities as far as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/p\/passiveincome.asp\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monthly rental income<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to lower vacancies, in addition to being in an area with more demand than supply, is to upgrade your property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to spend a ton of money \u2014 though major renovations may be necessary if your investment property is in a state of disrepair. Even if your property is already in pretty good condition, consider these five cost-effective upgrades if you want to add more value for tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Fresh Paint Goes a Long Way<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few things will give you a bigger bang for your buck than paint. A few coats of premium paint can go a long way toward giving the interior walls of your home a facelift. You can light up any room and make the walls look brand-spanking new.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you go with neutral hues like beiges or light grays, or go with something bold with colors that pop is up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s usually a good idea to repaint the walls when a rental unit changes hands. If you have a vacant unit, a coat or two of fresh paint is a good investment that can make your rental unit more attractive to tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Modernize Cabinet Hardware<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While swapping out old kitchen and bathroom cabinets can cost a lot of money, you can save some money by repainting them instead. Not all of them are repaintable, of course. However, repainting or restaining is a possible option that could help to modernize the spaces in your rental units.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option, one that will be even cheaper, is replacing the drawer pulls, handles, and faucets to switch up the aesthetic. You might be surprised at how big of an impact such a modest investment can create.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Install or Refresh Backsplashes<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another inexpensive upgrade that can make a big difference is a new or refreshed backsplash. It can modernize the kitchens in your rental units, and they\u2019re the perfect DIY project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can even use the peel-and-stick options if you don\u2019t want to do any tile work \u2014 which can make it the perfect weekend DIY project. You can get affordable backsplashes that mimic stone, tile, glass, and other materials. If you don\u2019t want to replace the backsplashes altogether, another option is to refresh the ones already in place in your rental units.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Replace Worn-Out Flooring<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet another relatively easy upgrade is to replace worn-out flooring. If you have old carpeting that detracts from the overall aesthetic, replace it. It doesn\u2019t have to be super expensive. You can get laminate flooring, engineered hardwood, or some other flooring type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have the time and tools, it\u2019s something you may be able to install yourself. You can bet renters will like the flooring upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Add Energy-Efficient Features<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many renters will gravitate toward units that encourage energy efficiency and sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can install<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/products\/smart_thermostats\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart thermostats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that help tenants regulate the interior temperature remotely, ceiling fans to help reduce AC use, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/citytvplus.ca\/brands\/hgtv\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">low-flow showerheads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to reduce water use. If tenants\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay for utilities, these features will save them money. It always makes sense to improve your rental property since happy tenants will stick around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to get more help with your property is to hire a property management firm. But you\u2019ll get more out of the partnership if the service provider is local. If you have a rental property in The Woodlands, for example, you\u2019ll be better off hiring a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenresidential.com\/service-areas\/the-woodlands-property-management\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Woodlands property manager<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also pick the property manager\u2019s brain for more tips on how to make your investment property more attractive to renters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharing is caring!
