Rental Property Transformations

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates

This philosophy applies perfectly to rental properties. Transforming an outdated home into a clean, modern, and inviting space brings new life not only to the property but also to its long-term performance.

The photos shown here are real Management One homes that have undergone dramatic upgrades—proof that strategic improvements can make an extraordinary difference. While the cost of remodeling may feel overwhelming at first, delaying updates often costs more in the long run.

Well-planned upgrades play a significant role in a property's rental value. Owners who invested in improvements routinely saw rent increases of $200 to $500 per month. Even at the low end, that’s an additional $2,400 per year—while also benefiting from valuable tax deductions on qualified improvements.

At Management One, we help landlords build the new—unlocking stronger returns, better residents, and homes that stand out in today’s market.

Estimating Repair Costs For Your Rental Property

Over the last four decades, we have found that a great rule of thumb for estimating repair costs is as follows: Average repairs, for painting, cleaning, blinds, etc., and some flooring costs can be approximated between $1.50 to $3.00 a square foot if the home has been occupied for five years or less. If your property has been occupied for 6-10 years, the average is $3.50 to $5.00 per square foot; for 10 or more years, it is $5.50 to $8.00 a square foot.

Bathroom Transformations

A Fresh Bathroom Boosts Rental Value

At Management One, we know a refreshed bathroom makes a powerful impression. With updated fixtures, modern mirrors, new flooring, and freshly painted vanities, an outdated space can quickly look clean, bright, and contemporary. These simple upgrades increase appeal, reduce maintenance issues, and help attract residents who value a well-cared-for home, boosting both satisfaction and long-term rental value.

Kitchen Transformations

Upgrade the Kitchen, Elevate the Home

A modern kitchen instantly elevates the entire home. By updating flooring, appliances, fixtures, and cabinets, we turn outdated spaces into clean, functional kitchens that attract quality residents and boost rental value. It’s a high-impact upgrade that delivers long-term returns for your investment.

Family and Living Room Transformations 

Stunning Upgrades

Fresh interior paint, modern flooring, and an updated fireplace don’t just refresh the look of a room, they elevate the entire living experience. These simple improvements help protect your investment, increase long-term rental value, and attract high-quality residents who take pride in where they live. With the right updates, even an ordinary space becomes warm, welcoming, and market-ready—boosting both appeal and profitability with minimal effort.

Landscape Transformations

Curb Appeal

At Management One, we believe your front yard sets the tone for the entire home. A clean, modern dryscape can instantly elevate curb appeal, reduce maintenance costs, and create a welcoming first impression for residents and prospective renters. By replacing dead grass or bare soil with decorative rock, mulch, and drought-tolerant plants, we transform unused spaces into attractive, eco-friendly landscapes that stay beautiful year-round. These upgrades not only enhance the property’s appearance, they also help protect your investment, minimize water expenses, and make your home stand out in a competitive rental market. Simple improvements, big impact, that’s the Management One approach.

Backyard Transformations

From Dirt to Desirable in One Upgrade-

At Management One, we turn unused backyards into functional, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that attract quality residents. By replacing dirt and weeds with clean dryscape, sod, and drought-tolerant accents, we create yards that look great year-round while reducing upkeep and water costs. These simple upgrades boost curb appeal, increase rental value, and help protect your investment, delivering big impact with smart, practical improvements.

Exterior Paint Transformations

Exterior Paint: The Fastest Way to Modernize

At Management One, we know that exterior paint is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to elevate a property’s appearance and protect its long-term value. A fresh coat instantly boosts curb appeal, signals quality and care, and helps attract higher-caliber residents. Beyond aesthetics, updated exterior paint shields the home from weather, sun damage, and wear—reducing maintenance issues down the road. It’s a simple upgrade with big returns, giving your property a clean, updated look that stands out in any market.
