Secret Strategy Homeowners Use to Double Property Investments

The Value-Add Approach

The core of the value-add strategy is identifying properties that are undervalued due to cosmetic issues, outdated features, or inefficient layouts. Homeowners can search for such properties through various online real estate platforms, where they can browse options that fit their investment criteria. Once acquired, these properties undergo renovations that increase their market value, such as modernizing kitchens and bathrooms, adding energy-efficient features, or enhancing curb appeal.

For example, a study by the National Association of Realtors found that kitchen renovations can recover up to 80% of their cost at resale¹. By focusing on high-impact improvements, homeowners can maximize their return on investment.
