Getting Ready To Rent Out Your Home

By Maryl Joop


Sometimes, when you move out of a home, you may make the determination to rent your home. Such a venture can bring in some extra money.

Nothing Tacky

Location is probably the most important aspect in selling your home, but there's not much you can do about that at this point. Well, the second most important thing is presentation, and making sure you have some really killer photos is the best way to make sure your home sells faster.

What is the first photo people see in your home listing? Does it really zing? That photo is someone's first introduction to your house, and just like first impressions with people, they will probably make a snap judgment based on that initial image.

Do not automatically place your furniture up against the wall in order to save room. Space it away from the wall just a little bit and it gives the room a much lighter and airy feel.

You have no responsibility to provide any furnishings for your tenants. As you prepare the property, however, you may decide that you want to leave the refrigerator or other appliances in the home to be used by the renters. If you decide to leave these items, though, you will be legally bound to provide maintenance for them. It should be known that renting a home with more furnishings does increase the amount of rent that you are able to charge.

However, the cost of repairing or replacing these items may greatly lessen the profit that you are able to make on your investment. While preparing your home, you must make the determination of whether or not it is worth including appliances with the property.

Take a closer look at what other homes in your area are selling for. Don't be so stubborn about your listing price, because five or ten thousand down or up could mean the difference between getting an offer tomorrow and getting an offer never.

You may have been intending on transforming that one room into an office or an exercise room someday, but as you never work or work out at home you have never actually gotten around to it. This is an opportunity to create a room that can add a lot of value to your home.

Lighting

Painting the outside of your house will make it look more charming. Rooms can be made to appear bigger and brighter by painting them with the right shade.

A good way to do this is to walk through your house with a video camera. Then watch the video and imagine yourself viewing your home for the first time. You might be surprised at what ideas you can come up with.

Every day there are more and more Las Vegas homes put up for rent. Make sure your house stands apart from the rest by following these tips and making your home the most popular of them all.
