The slightest improvement in a rental home has the potential of maximizing rental income. The trick is to do it in a cost efficient manner. Spend smartly on things that actually make a difference. Improve on the rental home’s visual appeal and aesthetics. Update some rooms as per the modern trends. Your goal is to make the rental home look inviting and livable.

Let’s take a look at some key improvements that can make the tenant want to pay the property owner the rent they demand.

Speckless Carpet
The carpet is probably the first thing about a rental house that will catch the attention of a potential tenant. Take a look at it and determine whether it needs to be swapped for another one or mere cleaning will do the trick. The carpet should be squeaky clean for an impressive effect. You can also opt for professional cleaning services if required. This is a budget friendly improvement that can jazz up the appearance of any house.

Immaculate Kitchen
It’s fair enough for tenants to be a little finicky when it comes to the kitchen in a rental house. Perk up your kitchen a tad bit. In fact touching up the kitchen is a sure shot way of making more income in terms of rent. Paint it bright, change the counter tops, sparkle up the sinks and taps, hang pictures on the walls and voila! Your kitchen will surely cast a magical spell on anyone who sees it. All it takes is some creativity, a cleaning spree and some smart buys.

Bathrooms
The bathroom often goes unnoticed as a room that needs attention. However, a clean and happy bathroom speaks volumes about the people living in that house. A tenant looking for quality will be very keen on the bathroom’s condition. Replacing the taps and shower heads instantly gives the bathroom a new look. If the vanity unit is outdated, consider replacing it with a modern one.

Provision For A Washing Machine And Dryer
The luxury of a washing machine and dryer is something renters simply can’t ignore. It’s a great facility as most renters are used to sharing an external laundry. Having it in-house will surely strike the right chord with them and boost rental income. You don’t need to invest in a new one as you can get great deals on second hand laundry machines and dryers.

Install A Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner
Instantly increase your rental income by buying a reverse cycle air conditioner. These air conditioners keep the room cool in summers and warm in winters.
