What To Do Before Renting Your Atlanta Home

System - Monday, August 17, 2020

Are you planning on renting Your Atlanta home? If so, you've come to the right place!


Renting your home is a smart decision to make because it's going to enable you to continue enjoying the benefits of homeownership while earning passive income from your property.


Before listing your property, you need to take several steps which will help to make your home more attractive to renters in the Atlanta area.



Tip #1 - Improve The Kitchen And Bathrooms


Since the kitchen and bathrooms in a home are typically the spaces where people spend the most time, these areas of your house should be the first places that you focus on improving.


Thankfully, you don't have to spend a lot of money on improving the kitchen and bathrooms in your home. Focus on working with the assets that you already have by refinishing cabinets, repainting, adding new cabinet hardware, and changing the lighting.


Making little changes to the kitchen and bathrooms in your property will yield big results and make the property look more attractive to people who are looking for properties in the Atlanta area.




Tip #2 - Replace Old Appliances


Once you improve the kitchen and bathrooms in your property, the next thing that you should do is replace old appliances that you may have in your kitchen. 


Replacing appliances like an outdated stove, microwave, or refrigerator is important because older appliances can make a kitchen look a lot older than it is. 




Tip #3 - Focus On Curb Appeal


After improving the kitchen and bathrooms in your Atlanta home, the next thing that you should do to get your property ready for rent is to focus on improving curb appeal.


Improving curb appeal is important because, many times prospective renters will be dissuaded from visiting a rental property because of how the property looks on the outside, regardless of how it looks on the inside.


If you're the type of person who doesn't enjoy gardening, you may want to consider outsourcing curb appeal improvements to a local Gardener.


To get started with curb appeal, it's best to have the gardener focus on cleaning up the front and back yard to your property then planting flowers, shrubs, and other beautiful plants that will help to make your property look more attractive to potential tenants.
