However, the inflow of funds is not always consistent. Real estate industry rates dwindle due to several economical factors. Whatever the case is, these days rental properties are on fire, regardless of this fact it’s hard to find a worthy tenant who treats their rental homes with care.Â
Therefore keeping tabs on the latest housing societies like royal orchard Multan phase 1 and Phase 2, we have come up with useful ways to maximize your rental income from a property.Â
Minimal vacancyÂ
How often does a tenant move? If they have a steady relationship with the landlord and no financial problems, then a tenant stays in one place for a long time. This encourages a more steady rental income for a one-time payment or can reduce the monthly rentals after a year or so. The turnaround time for tenants will reduce eventually.Â
And as soon as the tenant informs you about the notice period, written or verbal, you must start advertising and shortlisting the future tenants without any further delay.Â
So how to retain a tenant for a long time? Price concessions are one thing you can offer to the tenants.Â
Smart pricingÂ
The rent is the most crucial factor for a tenant. When filling a vacancy, always check the financial background to ensure tenants can uphold their side of the promise. Searching for a new tenant is also hard because the price you demand is out of budget. If it happens more often, you need to come up with a smart pricing strategy.Â
Be very clear about the price expectations and communicate them to the broker or the party. It will save you time on any superficial leads.Â
Besides, it’s recommended to keep the rent below the hundred. The more zeros involved, the harder it will be to find the right tenant. If you quote a higher price, do so with the intention to negotiate it with a margin of 5-10k difference in mind.Â
Talk about renovationÂ
One of the downsides of rental properties is the amount of sheer renovation required over the time period. Not everyone equally cares about a rental. They do not take responsibility for any damage and repairs. The argument is unending, however, as a landlord, you should always inspect the house before saying yes to a new tenant.Â
Repair and renovations is an important aspect that catches the eye of the prospective tenant. If they see the property is in dire need of repairs they would say an immediate no. renovation can cost you a decent amount, but regular maintenance will save your budget going out of the line.Â
Always look for trend variations

However, in the agreement, the money transfer should be either online or in cash. Most people in Pakistan prefer to hand in cash with a signed bill for record-keeping. Â
It’s the era of social mediaÂ
Online portals are of great use, but let’s not forget the fact that technology is much more advanced now. The use of social media is extensive for all intents and purposes. Making a proper social media account for the purpose of promoting the rental property is a smart way to reduce the period and get new leads right away.Â
Plus, it’s an effective psychological trick for converting leads. Anyone can reach out and contact you. This way the number of prospects is not limited to the broker only. More people can explore the property and ask questions from you directly.Â
