As an Oahu property manager, I am frequently approached by many prospective tenants who ask if I have any available rental properties on Oahu. I always ask what type of Oahu rental 
Clean, freshly painted walls and clean carpet make a great first impression.property they are looking for and where. No matter the size of the Oahu rental property or where they are looking, the first descriptive word prospective renters use is Clean. They would like a clean, 3 bedroom home for rent in Kailua. Or, a clean, 2 bedroom condo for rent in Honolulu
Unfortunately, “clean,” when describing an Oahu rental property, is a subjective description. Some think of clean as free from dirt. Some think of clean as white, and new (or newer). Some think of clean as a bathroom without a ring in the toilet or mold in the shower. Most prospective Oahu rental property tenants however, think of clean as all of those things – fresh paint, clean bathrooms, no dirt – and what they see will form their first impression.
My advice to owners that are preparing their Oahu rental property for rent is two fold – first: clean it – have someone else (a professional) clean it. If there is mold in the shower, remove it by removing the old caulk, or bleaching the spots you can’t remove. Re-caulk! It’s cheap, and you can do it yourself. If there is a ring in the toilet, get a pumice stone and get it out. Clean the insides of the drawers and

Clean the windows and the screens – all of them! Second: Paint. Paint is cheap, and while painting is not cheap, it is something most people can do, or can learn to do. You don’t have to choose the whitest white – in fact I recommend against it. But fresh paint: the smell, the look, and the feel gives most Oahu rental properties an updated and new feel. Most importantly – a clean Oahu rental property shows the prospective tenants the owners care about the product they are offering.
