Tips for Turning Around a Problem Humble Texas Rental Property

Tips for Turning Around a Problem Humble Texas Rental Property

By Vestpro Residential Services

Do you own a Humble Texas Rental Property that’s consistently been a problem for you? The problems can be anything from repairs, tenant complaints or problems with tenants who consistently pay their rent late.

Regardless of the reason, these are problems that make owning rental property a headache for anyone but the good news is that you can turn around that problem rental by following these simple tips.

Tip 1 – Check the Property for Needed Repairs

Does the property need repairs inside or outside?

Start with improving the curb appeal of your Humble Texas Rental Property then move to the inside of the home and focus on improving areas of your rental property like flooring, cabinetry, and lighting.

It may be that your rental property needs a good renovation and can be improved in one weekend by painting, refinishing the cabinetry and replacing an old tile or vinyl flooring to update its look.

Tip 2 – Review Your Reputation Online

Another effective solution for dealing with a problem property is to check your reputation online to see exactly what tenants may be saying about you or your rental property.

Tip 3 – Deal with Your Bug Problem NOW

Have your tenants complained about a bug problem at your Humble Texas Rental Property? If so, you should deal with this bug problem today because bugs can pose a health risk to tenants and a bug problem could also cause a tenant to move because they classify your rental as not being habitable.

Tip 4 – Improve Your Tenant Screening

Last of all, but most important, you should improve your tenant screening process including reviewing a tenant: credit history, work history, background and personal references.

A recent study by TransUnion shows us that residential evictions have reached a 5-year low point and this is thanks in large part to tenants having better control over their finances compared to years ago so there’s no reason to not have financially stable tenants for your rental property.

Humble Texas Property Management – How to Avoid Losing Renters

November 30
Humble Texas Property Management – How to Avoid Losing Renters

By Vestpro Residential

Are you searching for Humble Texas Property Management information? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this article we will share with you actionable tips you can use to avoid losing renters.

Avoid Constant Rent Increases

The first Humble Texas Property Management tips we can offer you is to not raise the rent with each lease renewal because, the reality is that it’s not always a wise decision to increase the rent especially if you have long term tenants since it does cost more money to find a reliable long term tenant than it does to keep a tenant.

Always Handle Noise Complaints

When it comes to your Humble Texas Rental Property you should always treat noise violations seriously because, just about every tenant has a very low tolerance for noise so you should address the noise problem if it’s coming from a neighbor on the street where your rental is located, or another tenant in your rental property.

Humble Texas Property Management

Follow The Law If you have to Enter Your Rental Property

As long time Humble Texas Property Management professionals we can tell you that unauthorized entry is illegal in Texas and you have to follow the law if you plan on entering your rental property to show your rental to a prospective renter or get work done.

Always give your renters at least 24 hour notice in writing before entering your rental property and if you need to enter your rental property due to an emergency you should ask your tenant to sign a notice allowing you to enter the rental on short notice.

Don’t Allow Poor Maintenance

Last of all, but most important, another Humble Texas Property Management tip we can offer you is to never allow inadequate maintenance at your rental property because you will only be able to keep your tenants for so long before they become tired of living in a rental property that’s not been properly maintained.

Humble Texas Property Manager – Why Property Management Saves Time and Money

By Vestpro Residential

Are you thinking about hiring a Humble Texas Property Manager but aren’t sure if that’s the right decision to make? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we will share with you the top ways an experienced property manager will save you time and money.

#1 – Tenant Screening

An experienced Humble Texas Property Manager will save you the time, money and hassle of searching for and screening tenants yourself. Our experienced team of property management professionals will ensure that the tenants we choose have been checked thoroughly via a background check, credit check, job verification and more so you can have the fullest confidence in knowing that the best tenants are living in your rental property.

#2 – Customer Service

Once we’ve screened and found the right tenant for your rental property your Humble Texas Property Manager will provide the best customer service and support for the tenants who are living in your rental property so that they will always have someone to call when they need assistance instead of calling you.

#3 – Rent Collection

As your experienced Humble Texas Property Manager, we will also save you time and money when it comes to rent collection so you will never have to deal with the hassle of collecting rent yourself or dealing with tenants who don’t pay you on time.

#4 – Decrease Tenant Turnover

Another huge benefit that comes from hiring a Humble Texas Property manager is that we will decrease turnover at your rental property because when tenants have someone who they can call for problems, issues or concerns at the rental they are more likely to feel that their needs are being taken care of and will feel less inclined to search for a rental property elsewhere.

By Vestpro Residential Services

In 2015 owning rental property is one of the best ways to build wealth and generate monthly cash flow.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a Humble Texas Rental Property here are 4 things you should do with every renter.

#1 – Be Consistent

One of the most important things you want to do with every person who rents one of your properties is to be consistent and follow the same procedures with each time with prospective renters.

For example: You should always run credit checks and background checks with each renter.

Although you might be tempted to “go with your gut” with some renters, it’s important to follow the same procedures every time you deal with a renter so you can avoid any claims of racism, sexism or favoritism from renters who you might not decide to rent to.

#2 – Check References

During the process of accepting applications from potential renters it’s also important to always check references including personal and job references because, it’s easy for a renter to make those references up just to be approved for a rental property.

#3 – Keep Good Documentation

Always keep copies of rental applications, take before and after pictures of a home, and do your best to thoroughly document conversations with tenants if problems arise because, keeping good documentation will also protect your best interests should problems arise with a tenant.

#4 – Take Good Care Of Your Rentals

Last of all, but most important, your tenants will be spending their hard earned money on your Humble Texas Rental Property because they want to live there so you as the property owner should do your best to take care of your renters and provide them with the best rental experience possible
