Properties for rent may not always be topnotch ready. People want to come home to a rental property that feels cozy. It is important that a rental property has some modern updates or enhancements. Are you not sure if your budget can over modern updates or enhancements? There are some ways to enhance a rental property without breaking the bank.

Outside
Let’s first start with the outside of the rental property. How appealing is the outside of the property? Lifeless grassland, withering vegetation, and bare weeds do not give the impression of a cozy home. Planting some floras and foliage outside can transform a property from unwelcoming to buoyant. Try planting a purple fountain grass or snapdragon along the outside of the property. Both are resistant to drought and are beautiful. Plant morning glories along the fence to make the surrounding area more appealing.
Painting Walls
A new coat of paint makes the property appear new and crisp. Adding a neutral shade to the property can make it stand out amongst other properties. Paint walls with gray or tan shades to capture a contemporary look. The smaller the rental property is the lighter you should go when painting the walls. Sticking to lighter colors will make the space of a property look much bigger than it is. Consider purchasing buckets that hold 5 gallons of paint to go the cheaper route. Also, some stores have a discounted section for paints.
Kitchen
Does the rental property have a kitchen with oak cabinets? Time to enhance the cabinets. Get rid of all the dull and/or polished brass knobs. Instead use stylish hardware to enhance the kitchen. Want a backsplash? Use tile to create a beautiful and less expensive kitchen backsplash.
Light Fixtures
Glossy brass light fixtures may have been the craze in the 80’s but that is the era it should stay. Updating the light fixtures on a property is a very beneficial enhancement. Change the handles in each room to go together with the newly updated light fixtures as well.
Bathroom
Have a workable but tattered looking shower head? It is time to get rid of the shower head. Having an efficient shower head can save money. This is a simple enhancement that can add additional style to any bathroom.
Cabinets
Instead of spending a ton of money putting in new cabinets try painting them. Painting cabinets can still provide an enhanced look to the surrounding area. There are steps to follow if painting cabinets is the route you take. The steps are degreasing, removing the deep-rooted finish, and polishing with sand paper. Once the steps are done numerous times add a splash of paint and watch the cabinets transform. Painting cabinets is a way to enhance and keep within a friendly budget.
