If you are a property investor - here is how to increase your rental returns.You've taken the plunge into the investment property pool and now have to find tenants. Although most rental markets throughout Australia remain tight, there's still a need to put your property's best foot forward to attract optimum returns.Here are some of the ways you can add value and ask for more rent for your investment.ADD OR UPGRADE APPLIANCESIf your rental has no dishwasher, add one. You can ask an extra $5-10 a week in rent and tick one of the big convenience boxes for renters.European or stainless steel appliances in the kitchen can also add appeal, especially with the proliferation of would-be Masterchefs and My Kitchen Rulers.LAUNDRYIf you have an older unit with no internal laundry, take a leaf from the Europeans and install a front-loader washing machine under a bench in the kitchen. You could also add a wall-mounted clothes dryer in the bathroom if there's room, or install a retractable clothesline on a balcony. Expect to collect about $30 extra a week with internal laundry facilities.TEMPERATURE CONTROLYou can charge $20-30 a week extra by installing an inexpensive, wall-mounted, reverse-cycle air-conditioner, especially if the property is in a very hot or cold climate. Tenants in hot climates will also appreciate - and pay a little extra for - ceiling fans if you don't want to fork out for air-conditioning.FURNITUREFully-furnished rentals do attract higher yields (from $80 upwards, depending on the property and area), but are not for everyone. Renters who are in transient professions (defence force, teaching), relocating long distances, leaving a relationship or moving out of home for the first time are more likely to target furnished rentals. Others may be put off if a place is furnished because it means their gear has to be stored.Do your homework on the area and the type of renters it attracts before stocking up on extra couches.UNDER-COVER PARKINGYou don't have to build a garage to provide protected parking. Consider building a carport over a driveway. A simple $5,000 carport will probably pay for itself through extra rent in around two years.EYE FOR DETAILGlimpses of gleam can have a big visual impact, just as worn, rusty and scratched fixtures can detract. Modernise older properties with small details, such as new handles on drawers and cabinets, more contemporary light fittings and sparkling stainless steel taps. You can also give a stale bathroom a quick and cheap facelift with new towel rods and hooks, a large mirror and a new shower screen. These little features are hygiene factors that will attract a higher-paying tenant.STORAGEBuilt-in wardrobes are highly sought, so make sure you have them in every bedroom. They not only attract extra rent, but broaden the appeal of your property. You can also add storage by reconfiguring existing wardrobes and kitchen cabinets.Think about outdoor storage too, such as a shed or garage shelving, as tenants are likely to have bicycles, sports gear or camping equipment to stow.SECURITYInsurance statistics show renters are twice as likely as owner occupiers to be burgled, often because security is not as stringent. Make your place less appealing to burglars and more enticing to renters by installing security screens on doors and windows. Just ensure you don't bar windows, as they can pose a safety hazard in the case of fire.REDUCE ENERGY COSTSTenants are often prepared to pay a little more in rent to save a lot on their utilities. Replace all standard light bulbs with energy efficient ones and switch the old electrical hot water system for a solar-boosted one. Make sure you promote the property's energy efficiency when advertising for tenants. ...

Protect your investment - find a great property manager:If you are a property investor you probably know about Landlord's Insurance, but there's another way to protect your investment, and make sure that you continue to get a good rental return. The trick is to find a great property manager.There a few characteristics that will help you to tell the difference between a fabulous property manager who will care for your investment, and a nightmare property manager who will cost you a fortune. Professional and CommittedA really good property manager is not the disgruntled young buck who was recently rejected as a junior sales agent, and now has to see his days out processing rental applications. The best property managers are people who wouldn't have it any other way. They have made a career out of managing property and they have a network of satisfied clients. Good processes in place for screening tenantsA good property manager has excellent processes in place for making sure that potential tenants are carefully screened. They keep detailed records and they check references. Conducts regular inspectionsA good property manager can tell you how often they will be inspecting your property. They will personally inspect the property at the agreed time and report back to you with any issues. They don't send the receptionist. Has a maintenance team ready to handle any issuesA good property manager has a team of workers on call in the event that there are emergency repairs or maintenance needed at your property. They believe that it's vital to stay on top of any small issues before they become bigger ones. Answers your phone callsA good property manager is approachable and it shouldn't take a week for you to get them on the phone. They care about maintaining a relationship with you because they want to keep your business. Treats tenants with respectA good property manager treats tenants with fairness and respect, and understands that happy tenants are more likely to keep the property in good repair, and pay the rent on time. They also know when to do something if a tenant is not keeping up their end of the bargain. Cares about your propertyMost of all, a good property manager cares about you and your property and they will ensure that your investment is protected. By maintaining good rapport with all parties, they will help you to retain good tenants to keep your rental return coming in. ...

Here is why you shouldn't scrimp on loan repayments:With household costs on the rise, many mortgagees are struggling to balance their budgets. It's not surprising more Australians are skipping mortgage payments to help make ends meet.However, missing loan repayments could land you in a bigger hole. Not only will you be up for late fees - ranging from a manageable $9 to a stinging $195 per overdue payment - but you could be adding thousands of dollars of extra interest to your debt.At worst, a string of missed mortgage payments could see the bank recalling your loan, forcing a fire sale of your home. Even a couple of missed payments could put a red flag on your credit history, which is going to cramp future borrowings.One of the best ways to reduce the risk of mortgage stress is to give yourself a buffer on your budget. In Australia, it's recommended borrowers' mortgage repayments make up no more than 30% of household income. The problem is many home owners borrow to the edge of the threshold when interest rates are low - as they are now - leaving no room for inevitable rate rises and other increased living costs.Instead, budget for mortgage repayments at a 9% interest rate, a long-term average that accounts for peaks and troughs over the long run. When rates are low, stick the extra funds into your mortgage. You will not only save on interest but will have established a safety net, which you can draw on if needed when rates run high.If you are already feeling the pinch and struggling to make payments, talk to a Mortgage Broker sooner rather than later. A Mortgage Broker can help negotiate with the lender on your behalf and can look into other loan options to ease the squeeze. ...
