How to Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Los Angeles Residential Investment Property

April 12, 2017

How to Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Los Angeles Residential Investment Property

First impressions are always important, and that’s why having maximum curb appeal is critical for your residential investment property in Los Angeles. Whether you are renting out a single-family residence or a multi-family building, the outside of that property will help swing prospective tenants your way if the outside of your property is appealing. Simply put, you’ll never get them inside if you can’t get them past the outside. Here are some basic tips on making the exterior of your property inviting and welcoming.

Achieving Residential Curb Appeal

Start by cleaning the front of your property thoroughly. Make sure there isn’t any debris, and power-wash the front of the house or the building if necessary. Remove cobwebs, put out a welcome mat, and leave buckets of bright flowers around the front door and the walkway to the property. Inspect the outdoor lighting to ensure that it’s brightly lit in case someone is passing by during the evening.

Pay Attention to Landscaping

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on landscaping, but you do need to make sure that it looks attractive. Keep the lawn mowed, the bushes trimmed, and the flower beds weeded. Remove any tree branches that are covering windows or falling onto the roof. The landscaping needs to look easily maintained so the tenants aren’t concerned about the cost or the work that will be involved in preserving the condition of the yard.

Paint and Windows

If the outside of the property needs a fresh coat of paint, be sure to apply it before you begin scheduling showings and open houses. High quality tenants will not want to move into a property that has peeling paint or rusted fixtures. Take a look at the windows from the street and notice whether there are broken or bent blinds, or curtains that need to be opened.

When you’re planning to improve the curb appeal for your residential rental property, look at the house or the building from the perspective of the tenant. You want it to look like a desirable place to call home, and you want to give them a good reason to go inside. Maintaining your property’s curb appeal will lead to shorter turns when filling units, as pathway-244494_960_720well as higher rents, and a better quality of tenant.
