As a landlord you always want to increase your ROI, while providing your tenants with a positive rental experience. One of the easiest ways to do this is through providing amenities, such as parking, vanities, dishwashers, and coin-op laundry. This is a great way to attract better tenants and charge higher rents. We recommend considering these questions when determining whether or not to add an amenity.
- Are you already receiving top market rent for your unit, without this amenity?
- Are you having trouble attracting perspective tenants?
- Would this amenity boost the value of your unit?
- How long will it take for this amenity to boost an ROI that will pay for its addition/provision?
