Your rental properties allow families to have the homes and security they need at a rate that works for them, while also bringing revenue to your own family. With this in mind, while you depend on your rental property for income, you also want to make it feel like home for your tenants.
Updating your property can be a very daunting task. It’s hard to do a complete overhaul when on a budget due to a year of cutbacks, unforeseen issues, and more. If you are looking to update your rental space, here are a few inexpensive upgrades for your rental property that just might make a world of difference.
Interior Paint
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders to improve the look and feel of your rental property. It can brighten up any room, and cover-up prior blemishes.
Light Fixtures
An upgraded light fixture can mean many things for your rental unit. The overhead lighting is one of the first things your tenants will notice when looking through a property. In place of standard installations, consider something sleeker. If the HVAC is aging, consider a ceiling fan with more aesthetic appeal.
A New Toilet?
Oddly enough yes, it is incredible what a brand-new toilet can do to make a space look and feel much less lived in. Switching out the toilet seat alone can make a huge difference; however, depending on the style, new toilets can cost several hundred dollars.
Replace Broken Tiles
If you have any broken tiles on the floor or backsplash, it doesn’t take a lot to have them replaced. Finding matching tiles can sometimes be difficult, so make sure you keep some extra materials on hand for future repairs.
New Cabinet Hardware
From craft stores to home good stores, matching pulls and knobs can upgrade a kitchen or bathroom in under 30 minutes. Some current trends include raw rock and metal pulls that give an old apartment an urban vibe. Sleek black or platinum hardware can instantly make space feel more modern.
Faucets
Aside from large ticket items like stoves and fridges, sinks are the focal point of any kitchen. Additionally, if you can’t afford to spruce up a tub, a new, trendy faucet head can change the entire feel of a bathroom area. Just be sure you know the correct mounting setting for your sink or tub before you run out to the store.
As you continue to create spaces for other families to love, live in, and grow in, you are bound to have maintenance calls over the years. However, no matter how much older the home or the apartment, sometimes a few simple changes can make all the difference.
