Keys to Rental Success

The following tips will help you with property management residential and you’ll keep your tenants longer. Happy, long-term tenants mean fewer turnover costs, fewer vacancy costs. These trade secrets are also easy, fairly inexpensive ways to

get your property NOTICED!

1.  Make your units the nicest in the area so those who live nearby want to live there and stay longer! 
2. When installing new floors, opt for tile or vinyl. It lasts longer and is easier to clean.
3.  Paint walls one color. Then paint trim, window frames, and doors another coordinating color for a classy look.
4. Replace old blinds. New blinds cost less than cleaning old ones. They brighten appearance and give a feeling of added security to a prospective tenant.
5. Use six panel wood doors instead of flat doors. With our connections they only cost $2.00 more per door. These doors look nicer, are less likely to be damaged, and last longer.
6. Paint the front door.
7. Paint the exterior when needed.
8. Paint or power wash any fencing.
9. Stripe the parking lot. A fresh parking lot says “classy apartment home”.

Tenant proof your units:

1. Always use the same color paint and sheen so you can paint one wall instead of an entire unit when preparing for new tenants.
2. Tile and vinyl last longer than carpet and don’t stain. Use tile or vinyl whenever possible.
3. Replace glass with plexiglass where practical to minimize future breakage, saving replacement costs and time.
4. Paint kitchen cabinets a dark brown satin exterior paint. This hides dirt/grease, is easy to clean, and repels water and moisture so cabinets last longer.

Don’t be the most expensive rental in the area! Vacancy is more expensive than the higher rents you might achieve. Residents will move to a lower-priced place when they find one, increasing your turnover and vacancy costs.

“Vacancy is more expensive than the higher rents you might achieve…”

“The grounds have never looked better, and our finances are the best they have been in a decade.“

If you self-manage your HOA and are tired of it, you should know this: The Golden Rule Real Estate Team really does what it claims to do. Consider the following testimonial from an HOA member who used to self-manage a small HOA...

To whom it may concern,

Scott Gray and his Golden Rule team have been managing Marinawoods II Condominiums since August of 2016.  Marinawoods II had been looking for a property management agent for four years when I received a flyer from Golden Rule in the mail.   I called Scott and explained our situation, which was grave.  Marinawoods II had chronic delinquencies with association fees, and was on the verge of financial collapse.  Golden Rule stepped in and reduced our operating cost by 50%.  In addition, Golden rule has the economies of scale that ensure collection of required fees from association members.  Scott is accessible, professional, and knowledgeable.  It has been a pleasure working with him to turn Marinawoods II around.

In summary:  The grounds have never looked better, and our finances are the best they have been in a decade.

Best Regards,
Jim Skinner
