By Nick Calvi, Founder and CEO of Tweener Homes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renting out your home is an easy way to generate additional\nincome. It\u2019s especially worth taking advantage of here in Arizona, where about\n200 people are moving each day. In fact, Sky Harbor Airport recorded its\nbusiest month ever last March with nearly 4.5 million travelers passing\nthrough. How can you earn top dollar on your second or seasonal home? The\nanswer is easy \u2013 prep your home to make it the most attractive in the market. At\nTweener Homes<\/a>,\nwe recommend a few easy tips that will help your home stand out to potential\ntenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use High-Quality Photos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showcase your\nhome\u2019s best features with high-quality photos. If you don\u2019t feel confident\ntaking photos from your phone, consider hiring a professional photographer. We\nalways notice that our Tweener Homes listings that incorporate high-resolution,\nprofessional photos set themselves apart from other online listings and see\nmore success. If you opt for taking the photos yourself, take as many as\npossible to fully show every room in your home. Lastly, be sure to always add a\ndetailed listing description to match your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleanliness and Amenities Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To earn top dollar on your rental property, your\nhome should appear as clean and updated as possible. Double check to ensure all\nyour appliances and amenities such as the dishwasher, TV, pool, or stove are\nworking properly. It\u2019s also a good idea to have your home deep cleaned. Tenants\nrent your home with the expectation that everything will be clean and working\nproperly, and you won\u2019t want to risk a bad review if your home isn\u2019t up to par.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re concerned about your home being damaged by\nrenters who are looking to throw a party, consider finding a rental company\nthat avoids the \u201cweekend warriors.\u201d Tweener Homes is designed for those looking\nfor an \u201cin-between\u201d home for one to eleven months and avoids the crowds who are\nsearching for a weekend party house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Special Touches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider adding simple, unique touches to your\nproperty to help it stand out. A few tasteful decorations go a long way when\nrenters are judging solely off online images of the home. Once you do have\nrenters, keep up the special touches. Leave a good first impression by going\nthe extra mile. For example, stock the fridge with waters or soda or leave\ninstructions out on how to use the appliances. If your tenants don\u2019t know the\narea, put together a list of great places to eat around your home. The tenants\nwill appreciate the gesture and will be more likely to leave a great review or\nrecommend you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earn the maximum potential on your home by\nimplementing these easy tips. Taking extra time and focusing on the small\nthings to make your home stand out will always go a long way and be worth the\noutcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
