Apply for an Oregon Hard Money Loan for Repairs and Upgrades

It’s the little touches that can take a home from ordinary to something special.

We like Portland Monthly’s recent “fix it” home care feature, where experts share ways to improve a property. Check out these design and maintenance tips from the pros – and put the polish on your rental property for the highest return on investment.

How to Make a Home Look Better

Tile: Show off a kitchen or bath space with contrasting tile. Accent a simple countertop with a patterned tile backsplash – or try the reverse. Purchase 10-15% overage to accommodate cuts and tile breakage.

House cleaning: Go green to clean. Make your own cleaning products. They’re easier on the environment – and look great stored in a clear glass spray bottle or mason jar. (Avoid using vinegar on granite, stone or marble.)

Pest control: Bring in the pros at the first sign of pest issues. Rodents breed at an extreme rate. To help reduce the problem, put the bird feeder away. It’s a guaranteed attraction.

Energy: Replace windows or upgrade a heating system for long-term financial return. Energy Trust of Oregon provides helpful resources to evaluate and prioritize efficiency upgrades to your property.

Paint: Preparation and quality materials are worth investing in when painting an interior or exterior space. Keep in mind: a paint job done well always takes longer than expected.

Plumbing: Inspect water supply line hoses to the refrigerator/icemaker, washing machine and toilets. Check for secure connections, cracks and leaks, and replace hoses if needed.

Garden design: Plant generous numbers of the same plantings and avoid over pruning for a lush, full garden bed. Less bare, unplanted ground means less weeding!
