Before placing a vacant rental unit on the market, do you suggest that I paint, replace a few rooms of carpet, and have the house power washed?

A well-maintained property and or rental unit attracts better tenants, leases in a shorter time, and generally brings higher rents. Well-qualified tenants realize they are sought after and homes that are in good condition offer the best value for their rent dollars. By not having the property in top condition you will experience longer vacancies as well as the problems associated with attracting lesser qualified tenants.
