Investment properties are there to help you earn money and are proven to be one of the smartest methods. There are different ways to make sure you are getting the most out of your investment and to ensure it will make the long haul.

My top 5 tips to help you get the most value from your investment property:
 
  1. Maintain your property – Do the best you can to attend to repairs as they occur. As your property begins to age it is important to do a few minor renovations to keep the property feeling fresh between tenants and help you maintain a higher rent. For example, a fresh coat of paint, steaming the carpets and garden maintenance are minor moderations that make a great impact. This will attract or keep your current tenants happy and ideally keep them long term.
  2. Do regular routine inspections – Look out for maintenance issues before they get worse and ending up costing more.
  3. Searching for new tenants? Always get professional photos – First impressions are essential, we want to make sure property is presented in its best possible light. The websites that will be advertising your property use photos that can take up the entire desktop page, so low-res photos will become blurry, iPhone photos just don’t cut it.
  4. When searching for new tenants, don’t just go for the highest bidder or someone who can offer more rent. Thoroughly review their application, check their rental history and make sure their income supports the rent and living expenses.
  5. Energy and water efficient homes – Putting the money towards ensuring your property is water efficient and enegery efficient as well as regularly having the smoke alarms and electrical appliances checked allow current and potential clients to see you care for their safety and needs.
