DIY Projects You Can Do in Your Rentals

If you are an active real estate investor, it is likely you have rental properties.

When getting your rental properties to cash flow, you need to save money whenever you can. If you are just starting out, it is possible to do quite a few things yourself to save on your maintenance costs. Below are some of the things we see real estate investors self perform:

Drywall Patches Between Tenants

Painting

(while certainly not a fun gig, if you have the patience, it can save you quite a bit of money)

Mini Bathroom Remodels

If you’re looking at ways that you could possibly look to increase rental rates, consider some upgrades. A little can go a long way to what a renter is seeing.

Carpet Cleaning

Renting a carpet cleaning machine from a local vacuum store or big box like Home Depot or Loewe’s.

Minor Landscaping

Curb Appeal like adding mulch can make your rental property more desirable to tenants

Replacing Light Fixtures

We hope that these ideas get your mind working to see how you could possibly save money by self performing some improvements to your rental properties between renters.
