Spring is in the air, and things are abloom. Let’s be honest though: if you are a rehabber working on renovating a property, chances are you’ve not inherited a fragrant garden full of daffodils from the previous owners.

So how do you prevent your property from sticking up as a landscaping sore thumb without breaking your budget? Even more importantly, how do you increase its curb appeal in a way that is both quick and cost-efficient? Here are several time-tested tips that will save you time and money.

However, since you are facing a slew of unknowns, this is not the time to be overly confident.

To be honest, until last year we hadn’t worked with many real estate investors who were purchasing a property with a specific purpose of offering it for rent via Airbnb. The majority of the deals we see are still your good ole’ rehabs: a buyer snatches a dilapidated property at the right price, invests blood, sweat, and tears into its renovation, and then sells it at a nifty profit.

The Airbnb route is not for every investor and not for every property, but it’s definitely a great example of creative thinking.
