Upgrades during tenancy
One thing I've never understood is landlords won't do a thing during a tenant's lease. Then, upon turnover, they go gangbusters.
I try to put in small upgrades once or twice a year. The reason is twofold: 1. I want the present tenants to be happy & may make them want to resign 2. It is then that much more rent ready when I have turnover.
For instance, I have some dated light fixtures in one of my rentals. The front porch light is rusted & the range hood is archaic. I'm going to switch those out. I'm even considering switching out all of the dated light fixtures. Obviously, not a ton of money but it will make a little bit of a difference in the "pop" factor.
Does anyone else do something similar?
