Many factors make a rental property a good investment. A property can pay for itself when managed properly. Here are the major features guaranteed to attract tenants.
Location
The neighborhood has a large impact on a home’s value. Comeback neighborhoods — areas that are once depressed but are being built up — are on the rise. the prices are low, which makes these areas prime locations.
Condition
Be sure the expensive features inside the home — electricals, plumbing, furnace — are in good condition. Look at the outside as well. A brick or an aluminum-sided home has an almost maintenance-free exterior. Also, inspect the condition of the foundation and roof. If it is in bad shape, it can be costly.
Accessibility
A house with easy access to transportation, schools, malls, and highways has a high rental value because people do not mind paying more for convenience.
Rooms
Garages, attics and closets– any room with storage space– adds value, as do finished basements. Don’t forget bathrooms, too! The more bathrooms, the more you can charge in rent.
Backyard
A fenced-in yard is a luxury, especially for renters with young children. A home that ensures privacy and safety is a sound investment.
