Matt Hurlston of Ray White Carnegie: How can you boost your rental income?

By Matt Hurlston

Maximising your rental returns from investment real estate in Bentleigh is the goal of many landlords in the area. 

After all, most people decide to begin a portfolio to help earn a secondary income and provide some more money on the side. However, are you earning as much from your portfolio as you could be? 

According to figures released by realestate.com.au, the median rent for houses in Bentleigh is $495 per week, while units earn $395 per week. 

If you're interested in boosting your returns, there are a number of ways to grow your property's value. 

For example, some simple renovations could do wonders for helping increase the house's desirability. Spaces like the bathroom and kitchen are brilliant for adding value to. 

Improvements like installing a new benchtop or adopting more sustainable, energy efficient appliances can go a long way to helping improve your investment property's value.
