Are you planning on making renovations to your rental property and are wondering which improvements will really pay off?

In this article, we will share with you some rental property renovations you should consider that will make your rental more appealing to potential renters.

Update Appliances

Although the ancient dishwasher and other old appliances in your rental property may still work, the reality is that older appliances will make a rental property look old and potentially deter some tenants from wanting to live there.

Change Light Fixtures

One important tip that most landlords and San Diego property management companies will agree on is the importance of updating light fixtures.

Besides being unsafe, older light fixtures can also age a rental property and make it look older than it really is so it’s best to invest in new light fixtures to make your rental appealing to all tenants.

Refinish Cabinets

Are the cabinets in your rental property still in good shape? If so, you can save money by refinishing or repainting them rather than replacing the old cabinets with new cabinets.

While you’re refinishing your cabinets, you should also be replacing old door and cabinet hardware with new knobs and pulls because this is another effective way to update a rental property without spending a lot of money.

Refresh Flooring

It doesn’t matter if you have vinyl flooring, or carpeting, you should refresh the flooring in your rental property while you’re updating it because, new flooring can by default make any rental property look new, fresh and inviting.
