What - Am I crazy, Marketing to Smoking Tenants?
Good Morning BP folks, I have a SFR (3bd/1bath) under contract that has heavy smoke damage. The unit would require extensive work to remove the stains/stench as well as make needed rehab updates. I am thinking about doing going big or quick and easy...
Option 1: "light rehab" of paint/cheap floors/etc. and marketing the unit for smokers and pets. Current rental market for the area is extremely limited and I have never seen a unit advertised for smokers/pets in the area and I believe there would be a lot of interest.
Options2: "Full Rehab" - Complete update and replacement of everything. while adding a second bathroom and possibly adding a small Attached ADU studio. Marketed to non-smokers and no pets.
Anyone have thoughts on renting to the smoking community?
Thanks for your time and Enjoy the Day!!!
