IN THIS CHAPTER

Examining and assessing the exterior and interior of your rental property

Cleaning, repairing, and upgrading your property

Working with professionals to prep your rental unit

Properly preparing your vacant residential rental property for its new tenants is critical to your overall success as a rental property manager. Because vacant rental units don’t generate rental income, you need to fill your vacancies with good, stable, rent-paying tenants as quickly as possible. How, you ask? By making sure that the interior, exterior, and grounds of your vacant units are clean and in rent-ready condition when you show them to prospective tenants.

In this chapter, I show you how to look critically at the exterior and interior of your property to formulate a plan for preparing the unit. I also help you figure out what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and whether you’re better off hiring outside contractors to assist you in your preparation efforts.
