Bringing value to a rental property

[Sacha Allen]

Hi everyone!  So I've read quite a few books from David Greene (as most of you know, his books are amazing by the way).  One of the things I always hear him talk about is bringing value.  So my question is:  Other than the obvious, such as remodeling kitchens and bathrooms.  What are your thoughts on windows.  One of my properties has old windows and I want to get them all replaced.  Does anyone have any experience with this and does it bring a good amount of value to the home?  All help is appreciated!

There are things you have to do, things you should do, and then things that make you money in rent and cause you fewer headaches. Here is a short list of some of my favorite upgrades on multis to keep tenants happy and get fewer phone calls.

- WiFi

- assigned parking spaces, numbered

- separate laundry or a laundry schedule for tenants

- separated backyard area if you have it, equal space for all tenants

- cleaning service at least every quarter, sounds like a benefit to the tenant, but it's also a spy for you
