Tips for minimizing vacancy in rental properties.
Thank you Gita!!! This is GREAT information on getting rental units READY before showing.......It reminds me to order my case of Carpet Fresh to keep in my car!!
I receive calls for rentals from time to time. I find that some properties rent quickly and some are on the market for long.
Here are some tips for landlords:
1. Make sure the apartment or house is clean. That is the most important thing for prospects. As soon as a tenant moves out get rid of the trash, and the metal hangers in closets and get it cleaned . Pay special attention to the stove and oven.
2.Fresh coat of paint. Paint a neutral color throughout.
3.If the carpet shows wear and tear , new carpeting always helps rent quickly. If the carpet is less than 3 years old, have it shampooed .
4.If the apartment has washer, dryer and refrigerator it is easier to rent out the place.
5.Price it at fair market rent , base it on comparable rents in the neighborhood.
There are many people looking to rent because it is getting difficult to qualify for a mortgage. If you would like to look for investment properties call Gita Bantwal at ReMax Centre Realtors 215-343-8200x124 0r cell 2152758491
