Several Inexpensive Ways to Spruce Up Your Rental or Rehab Property


Several Inexpensive Ways to Spruce Up Your Rental or Rehab Property by - 

Bill Bronchick

 I have been working with several investors purchasing investment properties over the last few yrs. and they are always looking for low cost ways to make their rentals or fix and flips rock.  I came across a few great ideas, and here is what I found.  Simple easy and make an impact on the home.

I still find it amazing when a renter walks through that door to look at the property, 1st impression make all the difference in the world. It's a emotional rent.  Renters are a different today, X  home owners, and they want there rental to be in Pristine Condition, they just dont rent anything. Home improvements  investors can make dont always require a big investment, and with a little ingenuity and elbow grease, you can find cheap ways to spruce up your home without costing a bundle. Carpet and Paint can be expensive, 5K-10K easy, but most of the investors I know want to put as little as possible into that property. Below are  several improvements you can make that wont break the bank, your RENTAL will ROCK, really make it stand out, a few basic improvements to improve your properties with very little cash.

#1) New Electrical Switch Plates
Minor,  yet adds so much to the appearance. Most rental owners and rehabbers paint a unit and leave the old, ugly switch plates. New switch plates cost about 50 cents each.


#2) New or Improved Doors
Nice white doors. The basic hollow-core door is about $30. It comes pre-primed and pre-hung for a little extra .
 
#3) New Door Handles
For about $10, you can replace the door handles . Replace the guest bathroom and bedroom door handles with the fancy “S” handles (about $20 each).
 
#4) Paint/Replace Trim
Use a semi-gloss bright white on all the trim in your houses.  How bout that outside trim, people like color , be brave and opt for some color on that trim, It'a a lot less then painting the whole house.  If the floor trim is worn, cracked or just plain ugly, replace it at a costs less than 50 cents per linear foot. Create a great first impression by adding crown molding in the entry way and living room.
 
#5) New Front Door
It is TRUE, you only get one chance to make a first impression. A cheap front door makes a house look cheap. An old front door makes a house look old. If you have nice heavy door, paint it a bold color using a high-gloss paint. If your front door is old, consider replacing it with a new, stylish door.


 
#6) Tile Foyer Entry 
After the front door, your next first impression is the foyer area. Most rental property foyers are graced with linoleum floors. Consider a nice 12″ Mexican tile. An 8′ x 8′ area should cost about $100 in materials.
 
#7) New Shower Curtains
It amazes me that many landlords and sellers show properties with either no shower curtain or any ugly old shower curtain in the bathroom. Buy that new rod and fancy curtain.
 
#8) Paint Kitchen Cabinets
Replacing kitchen cabinets is expensive, but painting them is cheap. And dont forget to replace that faucet. Look for them on sale, Cabinet pulls can transform a kitchen cabinets into a designer showcase.  Try IKEA for cheap pulls.


#9) Add outside Exterior Vinyl Shutters on the front
If you have ugly aluminum framed windows, consider adding wooden  or plastic shutters outside. They come pre-primed at most hardware retailers and are easy to install. Paint them an offset color from the outside of the house. 
 
#10) Add a Nice Mailbox 
Be bold, stand out , buy a nice colorful mailbox. People notice these things and they like them!

She bought a Garage, NOT a Home

Having REALTOR representation can help clarify any discrepancies and ensure you know exactly what you're purchasing.


PHOENIX - A Valley woman is pleading for help after finding out the home she purchased, isn't a home at all.

Clarinda Baylis moved into a Phoenix property in 2011. When she had the City of Phoenix come out to perform a weatherization service, she found out what she purchased wasn't a home.

"sitting on the fence" wondering, and trying to decide whether or not if it's the right time to buy

Are you "sitting on the fence" wondering, and trying to decide whether or not if it's the right time to buy a home? With the changes in the economy, as well as the Real Estate market, it's no wonder so many people aren't hopping off just yet. You turn on the television and here prices are going lower, a double dip they call it, so you just sit wondering if it is time to buy. It seems like a never ending downward spiral. You talk with friends, Realtors and even know people who are buying everything they can get there hands on..and you sit! and sit on that fence..Someone says DONT buy prices are going lower and someone else says I just closed my 3rd home..
Every investor is different..Some investor are looking to fix and flip..some fix and flippers are looking to make 25%-35% return and some are happy to walk with 5-10-15K.. Some investor are looking for that vacation home and are very happy to just rent it out for a few years and JUST have the mortgage paid for before retirement for a few yrs. Some investor are buying and holding, looking for rental returns from 6-8-10 and 15% on monthly rents.. Some buy at auction and flip right out of auction. Some investors want a A+ property doing nothing to do to the property(move in and ready to go) and some want a fixer that needs the works. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? and WHERE DO YOU want to GO?
WHAT a MESS and WHAT to DO!! If you are swirling in that big pool of buyers wondering if you should buy a house, give me a call and lets discuss your options and see where your goals are..
Purchasing real estate is not all about price, it's about timing, understand the market, knowing the neighborhood, creative thinking (outside the box) and knowing how to negotiation to create a win-win situation. How well can your agent negotiate on your behalf?
Thinking out of the box...That's what it takes today to land a home. If you want to work with a realtor that know how to get the home and close the deal call Linda 602-391-8246

Should you be sitting on cash right NOW!!!
