- At Suburban 36 we can achieve rent increases of $410 dollars with lighter than typical unit turns. In this unit we did new flooring, paint, counters, and fixtures. As typical with our properties, the prior owner had underpriced the unit by quite a bit.
Suburban 36 Exterior
- Suburban 36 exteriors are well kept. However, we did install new signage at each property with a fresh name. Previous name is from two owners ago who went bankrupt. (Photos of Plymouth’s sign to come).

Tips and Tricks
Tips
Turn units as fast as possible- We try to turn units in 10 to 30 days depending on the type of turn we are doing and the condition of the unit. We have implemented what we called “pre-move out walk throughs.” As soon as the resident turns in their 30-day notice we ask for access to the unit. This allows us to address the condition of the unit and get contractors and services on the schedule as soon as possible. Since implementing this strategy, we have noticed quicker and more efficient unit turns.
