Renting out your Family Home

Extra Banner Image

Are you planning to rent out your home in California rather than selling it at a loss? You should inform your California home insurance provider and your mortgage company about your plans; you should also consider a few cosmetic changes that could improve the appearance of your home and appeal to a wider range of potential tenants.
Stand across the street, see your house from the perspective of a stranger who has not seen it before, and look for any weak spots in your home’s presentation. Fixing weak spots may not necessarily entail expensive painting or repairs; cleaning tired paintwork with a pressure hose, for example, might make it sparkle again.

Next, consider what you can do to improve the appearance of each room in the house. Replace fussy light fittings with simple, clean inexpensive new light fittings to give an impression of light and space, and wash down walls with a sugar soap solution to remove grime, marks and stains.
 
Affordable changes like these could be well worth the effort if they attract high-paying potential tenants. Smarten up your home’s appearance, call stakeholders like your California home insurance provider (you’ll need to switch to landlord’s coverage), and you’ll be ready to become the landlord of a desirable rental property.
