Maximising your rental income is not just having the perfect property in the right location. You can drastically increase rental income by paying attention to your furnishing and marketing.
Good photographs are vital and really make a difference. Photos should always be taken on a bright sunny day and take as many different angles of the exterior as possible. Make sure you highlight the most appealing features such as the pool and view.
Include as many good quality interior photographs as possible with the advert as it will make a real difference to the number of enquiries you have. Always include the main living area, kitchen and at least one bedroom. Again make sure you photograph the view from the ground and first floor.

You can create a real impact by also including some modern features like contemporary artwork, modern barbeque and Jacuzzi bath. These can all help your property stand out from the crowd.
