I bought an investment home and want to rent it NOW WHAT ?

Is my investment rental property rental ready ?   Here are some Tips to consider before placing it on the market.



1.  Fresh paint
Nail holes need to be filled and freshly painted walls/ trim bring tenants with less complaints

2. How's the yard ? 
Curb appeal is good, but dont go crazy with new plantings.. it needs to look clean and maintained with fresh mulch.

3. Appliances
Rentals need to be equipped with appliances that are in good working order and clean.  Items that can be  exempt from owner's pocket are items such as:  ( but must be in a well written lawyer drafted lease)
Filters 
Water dispensers
Ice makers
Garbage disposals
Pool heaters
Solar panels

4. AC serviced
Its hot and humid here in Florida.  Air conditioning is a must and keeping it serviced will help maintain the system with fewer break downs.  

All these preventative maintenance to do's will help you attract a tenant you want.    If you have a tenant who does'nt care what a property looks like when moving in can you imaging what your investment property will look like once they move out.

Call or email for more tips and suggestions..
