As the popularity of renting increases, more and more investors are jumping on the bandwagon in hopes of turning a tidy profit. While some markets become oversaturated with rental properties, finding quality renters may prove difficult. You can get ahead of the competition and even command higher rents by adding luxury upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom areas of your rental homes. Start with the following seven upgrades to greatly improve your rental property’s popularity.
Pot Filler Faucet
Lifting heavy cook pots could be a thing of the past for your renters with the installation of a pot filler faucet. This faucet swings out from behind the stovetop, allowing the user to fill up their pots with water with ease. The innovative design offers incredible reach while remaining out of the way when not in use. Pot filler faucets also look elegant and help elevate the interior design of your rentals as a result.
Pull Down Kitchen Faucet
Pull-down kitchen faucets can help your renters breeze through their kitchen duties. With a multi-function spray head, it is possible to thoroughly clean produce, wash dishes, and perform other key tasks in very little time. The 360-degree swivel spout and rotating spray selector allow users to multitask while handling meal prep and cleanup. These faucets come in a variety of beautiful finishes, including Brushed Bronze and Matte Black, to match the design of your rentals.
Soap Dispensers
All the sinks in your rentals can benefit from the installation of soap dispensers. These dispensers allow for quick and easy cleanups while keeping the area around the sink neat and tidy. With their large reservoirs, the integrated pumps keep dispensing soap on demand for months at a time without the need for any maintenance. You can find a variety of designs to match your existing fixtures or upgrade those as well to match.
Curved Shower Rods
To make your rental bathrooms look and feel luxurious, consider installing curved shower rods. These shower rods can dramatically increase the amount of space in the shower and help prevent direct contact with the curtain. Even though space in the shower increases, curved rods do not take away much space from the rest of the bathroom. They also look fantastic when selected in a finish that complements the existing fixtures, such Polished Chrome or Satin Nickel.
Hand Shower System
For the ultimate in luxury amenities, your rentals need hand shower systems in every bathroom. These systems come with either single- or multi-mode showerheads to best suit your renters’ needs. For improved safety for your renters, you can even install a hand shower system with a grab bar built into the design. Multiple spray modes and safe pressure-balancing technology make every shower enjoyable and convenient.
Smart Mirrors
A new big thing in bathroom renovations is the smart mirror. These mirrors add digital functionality to the traditional mirror design. These mirrors can display timely information, such as weather reports, stream video content, and much more. In fact, depending on their hardware, most of these mirrors can do almost anything a modern tablet can do. Your renters will likely be unable to find other rental homes in their area with this innovative upgrade.
Towel Warmers
Although towel warmers seem like a simple thing, they are actually incredibly important in providing the creature comforts renters want. These wall-mounted rods heat upon demand to keep towels toasty for use right after a shower. You can also find high-tech towel warmer designs with integrated timers that turn the device on and off on a strict schedule.
When you install key upgrades in the kitchens and bathrooms of your rental properties, you can increase their popularity with local renters. Simple changes go a long way in boosting the luxurious look and feel of rental properties of all kinds. Therefore, you can start with small upgrades to help your rentals remain competitive in your local market. Connect with the Symmons Multifamily team to bring distinction and value to your property.
