How do I prepare my property for showing it to potential tenants?

Have an independent party give you an honest opinion and recommendations on your property's present condition. Go outside to the front of your property. Look at it. Is the property appealing from the curb? Remember, most potential tenants will drive by the property to see what the property looks like. If the property has inferior curb appeal, they will probably never call you to see the inside of the home.

Does the home need some paint or minor maintenance? How are the floor coverings? Deal with those items before placing your home for rent. The better the condition of the home, the higher the potential rent. When showing the home make sure that it is not cluttered with small items.
