2020 is here and if you’re like most owners nationwide, you’re mapping out your goals and thinking about ways that you can get more ROI from your rentals in the new year.
The good news is that getting more ROI from your rentals is easy to do. In this article, we will provide you with a breakdown of some of the ways that you can increase the revenue from your rentals in the coming year.
Add More Revenue Streams
You’ve made the right choice by investing in real estate but did you know that you can get more ROI from your investment properties by adding more revenue streams?
Some of the revenue streams that you can add include the following:
Coin-Operated Laundry – Your tenants will have to do their laundry somewhere, why not at your rental property? Regardless if it’s a single-family home or multifamily property, you should add coin-operated laundry because this can easily increase the revenue from your property by at least $1,200 per year or more.
Tech Services – From Wi-Fi, to technology upgrades like whole-house monitoring, Alexa, Wi-Fi lighting and a doorbell camera, you can make more ROI from your property by upgrading it with the latest technology and charging your tenants more for those updates.
Professional Services – Do your tenants hate taking care of the lawn, doing their laundry or cleaning the rental property? If so, you can make their life as easy as possible by offering them professional services because if they are going to need those services, why shouldn’t you offer them?
Avoid an empty property
An empty rental costs money. Find good tenants and aim for long-term lets to keep void periods down. If it’s a short let, reduce turnaround time by getting ready to re-market your rental as quickly as possible.
Review your rent
You can review your rent by booking a valuation with a letting agent. Also, check websites like Rightmove and Zoopla to see how much similar properties in the area let for. This allows you to set a competitive price.
Charging too much rent — or too little — can be a problem. Potential tenants pass by properties that are too expensive, but if you undercharge you miss out on a fair rental income. Once the contract’s signed, it’s hard to increase rent. It’s best to have a rent review clause in your agreement, which lets you increase rent in line with inflation once a year.
