As you\u2019re thinking about how to increase the value of your\u00a0<\/span>Vancouver rental property\u00a0and attract high-quality tenants, you\u2019ll likely think about the improvements you can make and the renovations that will inspire higher rents and\u00a0<\/span>lower vacancy times.\u00a0<\/p>

Don\u2019t forget the curb appeal.\u00a0<\/p>

Curb appeal counts because it\u2019s the first impression your property makes on prospective tenants. The way your rental home looks from the outside is what those tenants will remember when they\u2019re considering whether to rent your property or another one.<\/p>

Here are three ways you can quickly and easily improve the curb appeal of your investment property.\u00a0<\/p>

1. Power Washing and Maybe Fresh Paint<\/h4>

Curb appeal requires cleanliness. A thorough washing of the outside of your home will give it a new, fresh look. It will remove all those cobwebs and spider webs. It will eliminate any leaves, sticks, debris, dirt, and dust.\u00a0<\/p>

Power washers are inexpensive to rent if you don\u2019t already have one. This is an easy way to freshen up your property and improve its curb appeal without much effort or expense. Get the entire property as well as the roof, patios, driveways, and walkways.\u00a0<\/p>

Once you have completed the power washing, inspect the condition of your paint. If it has been more than a decade since the paint was redone and it\u2019s looking worn and chipped, consider repainting. You\u2019ll get a lot more attention on the rental market when you\u2019re offering a home with fresh exterior paint.\u00a0<\/p>

2. Take a Look at Your Landscaping\u00a0<\/h4>

Landscaping at a rental home should be attractive, neat, and simple. You want to\u00a0<\/span>attract tenants\u00a0with a low-maintenance landscape. Make sure the lawn is mowed and the weeds on bushes and flower beds are pulled up. Branches should be trimmed back from trees and shrubs.<\/span><\/p>

The outdoor space at your\u00a0<\/span>investment property\u00a0must be welcoming, healthy, and inviting. Set up recurring lawn services so it will continue to look great during the leasing period and throughout the tenancy. +<\/span><\/p>

3. Make Front Door Improvements\u00a0<\/h4>

There\u2019s a lot you can do to the front door of your property to increase your curb appeal and establish a great first impression. Start with paint. Maybe you decided you don\u2019t need to paint the entire exterior of your home. A bright color on your front door will look great. Consider a yellow or an attention-grabbing blue. Red doors are attractive too, as long as it matches the material and paint color of your property.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

New hardware is also a great way to improve your front door. A new knocker or a shiny door handle can go a long way. Lay down a fresh welcome mat. Put a pot of fresh flowers on the front step and install a porch light if there\u2019s space for one.<\/div>

That\u2019s understandable. With the online rental sites and social media platforms available, it\u2019s easier than ever to market and advertise a rental home. But, it\u2019s also crowded. Tenants are scrolling through listing after listing, and it can be difficult to stand out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6],"tags":[9,12,13],"class_list":["post-8868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-houses","category-property","tag-architecture","tag-design","tag-interior"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8868"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8873,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8868\/revisions\/8873"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
