Introduction
For property owners, maximizing rental income is often a top priority. At Appropos Residential, we specialize in helping homeowners achieve the highest possible returns on their investments. In this case study, we explore how our strategic property management approach led to a 20% increase in rental income for one of our clients.
Background
A client owns a three-bedroom townhouse in a popular Houston neighborhood. Despite the property’s prime location, the client was struggling to command the rental rates they desired and experienced occasional vacancies, which further impacted rental income.
Our Approach
To help maximize rental income, we implemented a multi-faceted strategy:
- Market Analysis: We conducted a thorough market analysis to determine competitive rental rates for similar properties in the area. Using current market data, we identified that the property could command a higher rental price.
- Property Upgrades: We recommended a few strategic, cost-effective upgrades, such as fresh paint, updated lighting fixtures, and professional cleaning, to enhance the property’s appeal. These upgrades were designed to attract higher-paying tenants.
- Targeted Marketing: Our team created a tailored marketing plan, including professional photos, virtual tours, and optimized listings on high-traffic rental websites. We utilized social media advertising to reach a wider audience, attracting more qualified leads.
- Tenant Screening: To ensure that the property was rented to reliable tenants who could afford the increased rent, we conducted comprehensive tenant screenings, including credit checks, employment verification, and reference checks.
Results
Within two weeks of implementing our strategy, the townhouse was leased to a high-quality tenant at a rental rate 20% higher than the previous rate. The property has since remained fully occupied, providing consistent rental income and peace of mind.
