Improving your property’s overall condition not only saves you money but it saves you time and stress. If your property needs work, you will attract lower quality buyers and tenants.
The main areas that make the biggest difference is exterior condition, paint, flooring, appliances, countertops, and light, plumbing, and bath fixtures (tubs/caulk/tile). Sounds like everything doesn’t it? Often only some of it is needed. Most commonly paint, flooring and appliances. These three things should always be in good condition, clean and updated, without stains or defects. Once these areas are addressed, you are guaranteed to start attracting higher quality tenants.
With this Casablanca West property, we had to update most of the property. The following are highlights of the renovation:
– Replace and update all bathroom mirrors and light fixtures
– Install new carpet upstairs and on the stairwell
– Install new vinyl in one upstairs bathroom
– Freshly paint the whole property (doors, trim, ceiling, and walls)
– Install a new dishwasher, stove, and range hood
– Re-screen the back porch
– Complete a thorough maid service throughout
