5 Ways to Keep Your Rental Property Low Maintenance

The primary goal of owning rental property is to increase your return on investment. However, maintenance costs can compromise your efforts and affect the bottom line. If you want to minimize maintenance and subsequent costs, we recommend having a preventive maintenance plan. This entails timely repairs and quality materials, appliances, and finishes.

At 3 Options Realty, ignoring minor issues, differing repairs, and cutting corners will cost you more in the long run. Our expert property managers have maintained rental properties for years; these are the five ways to keep maintenance low.

Invest in Preventive Maintenance

Many landlords opt to handle emergencies and unexpected disasters, which only take a massive chunk of their finances. Preventive maintenance lets you detect and address minor problems before things get out of hand. It is advisable to onboard a reputable property management company for a comprehensive preventive maintenance plan, ensuring everything runs as expected. We can customize a plan suited for your property by including routine HVAC inspections, leak detection, pest control services, and seasonal cleaning.

Avoid Unreported and Deferred Maintenance

Deferring minor repairs never gets less expensive and can cause devastating damages. If you own rental property and barely get the time to check maintenance requests, it may be time to hire a property management company. We can promptly address your tenant’s requests, mitigating further deterioration and expensive repair services. Delaying maintenance also affects the quality of life in your rentals, which causes tenant dissatisfaction and increases the vacancy rate.

Make Upgrades and Updates

Another effective way to keep rental maintenance low is to make improvements when possible. The best time to make upgrades and updates is during the turnover period, giving you time to schedule the renovations without disrupting your tenant’s routine. You can make many improvements to enhance the aesthetics and function of your rentals, including fresh paint, updating lights, and installing new appliances. Rental property updates and upgrades attract better tenants and increase your property value.

Make a List of Preferred Vendors

When you finally achieve a low-maintenance rental property, you can still use contractors and vendors. Hence, having a preferred network of professionals on hand goes a long way to ensure your premises remain in tip-top shape. Vendors are crucial to maintaining your rental, and our property managers can recommend reputable professionals to ensure you maintain a safe and habitable rental property. The professionals on your list should include electricians, plumbers, roofers, HVAC contractors, painters, drywall experts, and cleaners.

Hire a Professional Property Management Company

We understand what it takes to run a successful rental property, and our expert managers have extensive skills, resources, and expertise to guarantee a sizeable return on investment. When you hire property managers in Powder Springs, you don’t have to worry about vendor relationships or addressing maintenance requests on time. We can customize a preventive maintenance plan and recommend the best upgrades for your property.
