This rental home recently became available for rent.  I strongly suggested to my client that they give the home a little facelift to earn more of a presence on the street, increase the value of their asset and reduce there vacancy exposure.  The following transformation resulted in nearly 10% increase of rent and was leased while we were making the improvements.  We found a great family whom is working with us to bring in full lawn providing an improved asset for our client and a place our residents are proud to call home.

Before......

AFTER..... NEW GRASS COMING IN.. Got rid of those junipers and added inexpensive ground cover to give contrast between the home and yard..  Exterior paint and a new garage door.  Wow what a difference.

Shawn, 

PAINT is my favorite cheap update!  It's the best ROI (return on investment) for a better looking property that feels clean and fresh after being painted.  

All the best, 
Michelle

Shawn, great photos, new coat of paint helped take it from dated to fresh and clean! Sounds like you found some great residents for the place too
