Charlie Anne What improvements are profitable for rentals?
28 April 2020 | 50 replies
They were really bare-bones, but clean and well-maintained - with cheap carpet put in new for every tenant.The one thing applicants wanted more than anything else - and these units didn't have washer/dryers, disposals, dishwashers, bathtubs - which nobody complained about - was hardwood floors.If the only thing I ever changed was convincing the owner to put in hardwood flooring - or anything similar that just wasn't carpet but was similar to hardwood flooring, like laminate - I could have increased rents significantly.But, I'm telling you they don't care about dishwashers or counters or bathtubs or disposals or even washer/dryers in-unit as much as they care about hardwood-type flooring.The next thing the care about is in-unit washer/dryer of any kind or size.Next, a dishwasher.And I highly suggest you don't paint in any color other than basic beige.
