Vacancies mean profit losses. Long vacancies are also not good for maintaining a property. Understanding how to fill empty properties faster will help maintain a steady cash flow and actually help to maintain your property. Here are a few tips to get you started in the right direction.
Rent-Ready
Ensuring your property is ready to go from the front curb, throughout the unit, and to the back fence is what should be expected by “rent-ready.” Real Property Management Platinum in Fresno, CA knows that showing a property before it is completely ready can actually extend your vacancy period. Finalize all cleaning and repairs before you start advertising or showing your property. We want to make a great First Impression, which will help shorten the vacancy time. When your home is move in ready prospective renters can see themselves living there.
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. Take a hard look. Would you want to rent the property yourself based on first appearances? Your Fresno Property Management, Real Property Management Platinum will arrange for yard work and general repairs to the exterior. Without a good start on the outside, many renters will choose to go elsewhere; 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 like smoke, radon, and carbon monoxide are a must for the safety of your tenants. Exterior porch lights should be working properly. Real Property Management Platinum in Fresno, CA 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. Real Property Management Platinum will ensure a rental home is thoroughly and professionally cleaned and ready to be moved into. Once complete, they will ensure all appliances and other equipment are checked to ensure things are ready to go and working properly. Then they will perform a complete property review so you have the peace of mind to know your property will be rented in the shortest time possible, saving you time, headache and financial loss.
