Making that big purchase of a rental property in Seattle could instill in you an immense sense of pride. You also would be all gung-ho about getting a fixed side income coming your way every month.
But for that dream to be realized, you need to have tenants in your rental property first.
Your first urge would be to make the house attractive for the potential tenants and go for complete and all-around upgrades to the house, which could be expensive.
If you have deep pockets then by all means, go for the best makeover of the house, you are financially capable of. But you can do upgrades without spending the top dollar and making some basic, inexpensive modifications that would be more beneficial to attracting a better tenant.
Put yourself in the shoes of your tenants and take a tour of your rental property. Front railing and doors are the first to be noticed. If your front railing is looking good, it can do even better with a fresh coat of paint. If a part of front railing has developed rust or rot, then it is wise on your part to remove them and/or give it a fresh shine.
A dull and older looking door could be a big eye sore for the potential tenants. Get your chances to sell your property to the potential tenants enhanced by giving it a fresh coat of polish/paint. In the case of the door being damaged for a longer time, though repairs could be expensive it’s worth the payoff of a good tenant and you can stay stress free for the next 10 years.
You can score more brownie points by giving your deck a fresh paint. It is not expensive and tough also, if it has already been painted before, a little touch up could make a huge difference.
Tenants would certainly not like a house with walls of the room showing bad stains, handprints and some art work by the children. You must give a fresh coat of paint to the walls of all the rooms, something you can do yourself and is not expensive.
