Top 5 Ways To Make Your Long Beach Rental Stand Out

As a landlord, you’ll have to deal with vacancies. The goal is to find a tenant before the vacancy affects your income. Fixing anything your previous tenant had damaged and repairing the property's wear and tear. The Long Beach rental property has fully functioning plumbing, electric, and heating/cooling systems.

Today we will review five tips to help your rental stand out against the competition.

Improve Curb Appeal

You only get one chance at a first impression, and your rental is no different. The property's exterior is the first thing your tenants will see. Whether it's in person or they’re browsing through images online. It's not uncommon for tenants to pass up rentals based on how the property looks from the outside. After all, in their mind, if the landlord isn't capable or willing to maintain the exterior of the property, what is the likelihood that the interior is any different?

Go Above and Beyond with Amenities

Once you’ve intrigued your potential tenant with how the outside of the rental looks, it's time to wow them with the amenities you can provide. Items such as a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, a microwave oven, and other appliances are a great start. Other items such as an outdoor patio, soundproof insulation, secure parking, and additional storage space, can make your Long Beach rental stand out.

Provide Amazing lighting

Lighting serves a few roles for rental properties. Adjustable lighting can attract and keep some of the best tenants. Good lighting can improve the enjoyment of the unit and mood. Outdoor lighting can make it easier for tenants to have social gatherings in the yard.

Market as Pet Friendly

Many landlords will eventually have to decide whether they should allow pets. Although it's ultimately up to you, by allowing pets, you’ll be able to reach far more potential tenants. Many young adults nowadays have a pet as a companion. Although there is an inherent risk in allowing tenants to bring pets, the last thing you want is for a tenant to keep one without permission, as this can potentially result in costs to repair the property and another vacancy period because you have to find a new tenant. If pets are allowed, you can adjust the rent, deposit, and lease to reflect the decision.

Use Professional Photos to Show Details

Although you can use cell phone photos to market your property, professional images can help your property stand out. Professional photos can showcase the potential of your rental. A professional photographer can capture many angles and address details one can miss. A bonus of professional photography is its ability to be reusable. While cell phones may now have better cameras than phones 10 years ago, professional photos will often have better quality regardless of time.
