Enhancing Property Value: Key Upgrades for Residential Real Estate
When it comes to residential real estate, homeowners are always looking for ways to enhance the value of their property. Whether you're planning to sell in the near future or simply want to invest in your home for the long term, there are several key upgrades that can significantly boost the value of your residential real estate. By making smart and strategic improvements, you can not only increase the market price of your home but also create a more desirable and comfortable living space.
For the last several years, I've used a property management firm to help with my rental properties. One of the tasks that they handle for me is screening applicants who would like to move into one of my vacant units. Their expertise has helped me lower my tenant turnover and find people who want to stay with me for years. Part of the process is a tenant screening credit check. Before any further contact takes place, my manager orders credit reports from at least two agencies. That is enough to tell us if an applicant is a good financial risk. Assuming the references work out, I meet the candidate and make the final decision. If you own rental properties, let me tell you more about the benefits of having a property manager. I'm betting you'll find this type of arrangement will work for you too.
