Maintaining a fast turn over time between tenants means fiscal efficient rentals; less vacancy time. With efficient turn overs to ensure a great cash flow and keeping up to date on the maintenance and long term repairs. We want you to be as successful a rental property owner and so here are some helpful tips to minimize your turn over time and maximize your return.
Rent-Ready
Ensuring your property is rent ready, this means that front your curb appeal to your corners of the garage are ready for a new tenant to make their own. There shouldn’t be residual findings from the last tenant or items left behind. Real Property Management Coeur D’Alene knows that showing a property before it is completely ready can actually extend your vacancy period. When you show a property but add conditions about what the condition of the property will be it starts your manager/tenant relationship on rocky ground and lack of trust in the owner. So we ensure that all cleaning and repairs are finished before advertising or showing a rental property.
Start Outside
Having a curb appeal for potential renters will encourage people to come in and take a look around on the inside.
Pull up to the curb of your unit yourself and do an honest evaluation of what you see. Would you want to rent the property yourself based on first appearances? There are plenty of interested renters who will a drive by the property when not doing a showing to see it and they only have this to go off of for impressions. It is what your tenant has the most time looking at when seeing a property also. A good Coeur D’Alene property management company will arrange for yard work and general repairs to the exterior. Without a good start on the outside, you’ll risk potential renters leaving before even taking a look at what the inside has to offer.
Safety and Security
Safety should also be a top priority when preparing for a new tenant. Re-keying after a tenant moves out should be standard policy for your property. Also checking detectors such as smoke, radon, and carbon monoxide detectors are a must for the safety of your tenants. A good Coeur D’Alene property management company will help ensure you follow all regulations required for the safety and security of new tenants.
Finish Inside
Complete all repairs and remodeling before showing the unit, and always clean up after work; beware of scheduling a cleaner and then the contractor and the potential tidying up they may need to occur. Your Real Property Management Coeur D’Alene will ensure a rental home is thoroughly and professionally cleaned and ready to be moved into. Once complete, we will ensure all appliances and other equipment are checked to ensure things are ready to go and working properly. Then we will perform a complete property review, with that you have the peace of mind that all your boxes were checked and done in the shortest time possible to get your home back on the market as soon as possible, saving time, heartache, and profit loss.
