When it comes to tips for apartment owners there are some great options and ideas to increase the quality of tenants and the amount of rent and to decrease those vacancies. It all depends on what you are after and what your property can offer.

Marketing a small space? Make sure to have plenty of storage and consider purchasing smaller appliances to save room in kitchens. Concerned with sustainability or saving on energy costs? From Energy Star appliances to changing out your old lightbulbs for new compact fluorescents there are many of changes – large and small – that can be made. You might also consider the pros and cons of furnishing an apartment, redoing the floors in a versatile and inexpensive material like vinyl, and allowing pets in your buildings.

For the exterior of buildings, consider your landscaping. Does it look welcoming or is it more likely to scare off perspective renters? Do you need to spend some time on spring prep to spruce up your place? And don’t forget the important elements of child safety – this should not be overlooked!

November 15, 201715

Is the extra money and effort it takes to furnish an apartment worth the work?

Property owners often make tough decisions as to what perks they offer their renters. For many years, utilities-included rental options (heat, energy and water) were a competitive advantage. Nowadays, additional specialized markets have arisen to address more specific renter needs (like small-space studios), so property owners must adapt and offer new services to fit these changing market needs. One such marketplace is fully furnished apartments. Some renters don’t want the hassle of moving furniture into an apartment or worrying about choosing décor. Others have temporary situations, like work or school, which makes a fully furnished apartment very appealing. But is the the extra money and time it takes to furnish an apartment worth it for landlords?
