Rent-Ready Repairs — Small Fixes, Big ROI

Rent-Ready Repairs
Small Fixes, Big ROI

Preparing to sell doesn’t mean pouring money into renovations. Instead, focus on rent-ready repairs — low-cost, high-impact improvements.

1. What Are Rent-Ready Repairs?

These improvements make units clean, functional, and appealing without full remodels:

Fresh neutral paint
Updated lighting and fans
Vinyl plank flooring
Replaced cabinet doors or hardware
New blinds
Deep cleaning
Exterior pressure washing and landscaping cleanup

2. Why Investors Prefer Rent-Ready Over Fully Renovated

Over-renovation often reduces appeal because investors prefer to control materials and quality themselves. Investors want:

Functionality
Durability
Clean units
Value-add potential

3. ROI of Smart Repairs

Rent-ready improvements often produce 200–400% ROI by:

Improving buyer confidence
Increasing rent potential
Enhancing curb appeal
Strengthening pro forma income

4. Repair Bids Upfront

I can assist in gathering contractor bids before listing, giving you clarity on:

What’s worth doing
Expected upside
Total cost
Projected rent lift

This ensures you invest only in improvements that create meaningful return.
