When To Increase Rent Price
The simplest and most effective way to increase your revenue is to increase the rent you charge. But increasing rent can prove costly – since fewer tenants will be interested and your property may lie vacant for longer than you want it to. To increase rent, it’s important that you first justify that increase. There are two ways to do it:
Evaluate your market to determine if you’re charging enough for your units in their current state
Invest in improvements to your properties for which tenants are willing to pay more
Before starting on any improvements, be sure to look up rental rates other landlords in your area are getting and for what quality and type of unit. Start here because it’s lowhanging fruit, but also because it will help you determine what types of improvements will provide you the highest return on your investment.
As with all businesses, understanding your market is key to optimizing your business. So, like any good landlord, let’s start with evaluating real estate in your area.
Improve Your Property to Increase Rent
Below, we’ll run through different ways you can improve your units and properties to increase the value of what you already have:
1) Renovate the Kitchen
2) Renovate the Bathroom
3) Update Lighting Fixtures
4) Hire a Landscaper
5) Apply a Fresh Coat of Paint
6) Replace the Front Door
7) Furnish Your Rental
Remember, all of this ultimately comes down to your market. If you’re already the highest price in the top tier of your market, there probably isn’t much room to go up. Markets tend to have an allowable range in rental price with very few renters comfortable going beyond that range. It’s likely not worth the effort to make improvements if they’re going to limit your rental pool so severely that it creates vacancies. Gather a good foundation of knowledge and understanding so you can make the smartest investments and improvements possible.
Thanks for watching and happy renting!
