However, it\u2019s more complicated than simply picking a few popular foliage items and planting them outside. Great landscaping and a visually appealing property exterior require thoughtful planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since landscaping can be low-maintenance or can require a good deal of care, it&#8217;s vital to fully grasp your budget and your long-term desires for maintenance levels when it comes to the property\u2019s yard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When planning your ideal landscaping at your rental property, there are a few key points to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify your maintenance ideals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflect your brand and meet the needs of your tenants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your landscaping as an opportunity to add value or amenities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/landscaping-planning-tips-for-your-rental-property\/\">Landscaping Planning Tips for Your Rental Property<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-your-exterior-paint\">Update Your Exterior Paint:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Curb appeal is not limited to the yard surrounding your property, but also the exterior of your unit itself. If the rental is grungy or faded, you certainly are not putting your rental\u2019s best foot forward. Additionally, your paint serves an important role in protecting your property\u2019s exterior from damage. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heilerpainting.com\/blog\/how-exterior-paint-protects-your-home-from-weather-damage\/\">Heiler Painting<\/a>, your exterior paint plays \u201ca critical role in protecting home exterior surfaces from moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations,&#8221; meaning investing in a paint service can save you on costly repairs down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you wondering when the ideal time is to replace your paint? While your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/how-to-determine-the-life-expectancy-of-rental-property-fixtures\/\">exterior paint\u2019s life expectancy<\/a> will greatly depend on your brand, landlords and owners should expect to <a href=\"https:\/\/rentalhousingjournal.com\/how-to-pick-the-perfect-exterior-paint-color-for-your-rental-property\/#:~:text=Re%2Dpaint%20your%20property%20every,and%20keep%20your%20investment%20thriving.\">repaint approximately every 5-7 years<\/a>, your climate and property\u2019s sun exposure can also play a role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that accent colors like trims and doors may need a retouch sooner to ensure your property looks fresh. Freshening the paint on your rental\u2019s exterior trim, shutters, and front door, can easily modernize and liven up the exterior of that needs just a refresh or extra visual interest. Any property will benefit from enhanced curb appeal through a fresh coat of paint, but for a single-family rental property, a fresh coat of paint on the front door can have big ROI. <a href=\"https:\/\/zillow.mediaroom.com\/2022-06-23-Slate-blue,-black-front-doors-can-sell-homes-for-as-much-as-6,449-more\">Zillow found<\/a> that homes with slate blue or black front doors can sell for as much as 6,449 more, making the front door a key area of interest when it comes to small projects with significant returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/mini-projects-for-landlords\/\">Home Value Mini-Projects for Landlords<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading-for-you\">Related Reading for You:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/trees-for-your-rental-property\/\">Arbor Day Everyday | Trees for Your Rental Property<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/common-spring-roofing-problems\/\">The Most Common Roofing Problems in the Spring<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/Ways to Keep Your Investment Property in Great Shape for Years to Come\">Ways to Keep Your Investment Property in Great Shape for Years to Come<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The warmer seasons of the year are the perfect time to upgrade the exterior of your rental properties.
