What improvements do you make to your rental properties.

[Adam Anderson]

This has been asked before, but I want to ask the question with a bit of a spin. 

1-What is your favorite improvement you like to make to your properties to increase rent you can collect? (Made up example: I like to install a cupid fountain in the back yard because tenants will pay $50 more a month for cupid statues)

2- What is your favorite improvement you like to make to your properties to increase the durability of your property. (Made up example: I like to put diamond plate on the walls because that stuff in indestructible.)

My favorite "improvement" is a fresh coat of paint and clean.  Pretty simple but many rentals are dirty and not well taken care of.

In order to increase durability of a home is to paint the entire home with semi gloss paint.   Semi gloss paint will hold up a lot longer to cleaning and scrubbing.  I also find doing touch up paint with semi gloss matches better than a flat paint
