Small repairs and upgrades can make a big difference
Many people think that to do repairs
and upgrades to a home you need to do everything at once at great expense,
but I find that taking one thing at a time makes things seem more doable and
easier on the pocket book.
If you look at your home
or your investment property and make a determination to upgrade the one part of
the home that drives you crazy every time you look at it, and in my business of Property Management in Orange County Ca. I find Many times it is the
carpet, Then start with that one thing first. I am not a fan of replacing carpet, with carpet. I like either tile or
wood and if it is a rental property, tile is the best way to go. If you put
carpet, you need to always clean it and replace it every few years, but if you
put tile, while the initial cost is more than carpet, in the long run, you will
save money and frustration.
Outdoor walkways are also a great way
to make your property look good. If you have cracked concrete or roots have propped
up your walkway and it could be a dangerous area for people to walk, replacing
the walkway with inexpensive pavers can be an easy way to upgrade your outdoor
landscaping.
Some landlords also do small repairs
on their own. In my home, my water
heater would not heat the water. I went on the internet and found out what is
the most common problem, watched a video and did the repair. It would have cost
me at least $150 to have someone come out and fix it, but all it took was a $12
part and my time. If you are a Landlord that enjoys making these repairs, you
can save quite a bit of money.
In my business of Property Management in Anaheim Ca. I tell my clients, The way you choose t o start your
repairs and upgrading of your home or investment property is up to you, but if
you start small the task will not be as overwhelming and you will find it much
easier to complete the task from a convenience aspect and also financial.
