SS235: Renovations That Don't Add Value
June 22, 2025 · 6 min

Not all property upgrades are worth the price. In this episode of Strategy Saturday, Charles Carillo uncovers six common rental property renovations that don’t increase rent, resale value, or return on investment—and in some cases, they can actually lower your NOI. From unpermitted work to luxury appliances and layout changes that backfire, Charles shares real examples and lessons learned from years of hands-on real estate investing.

You’ll learn:

Which renovations landlords often regret

Why “over-improving” hurts more than it helps

The financial traps of pools, solar panels, and premium upgrades

How to align renovations with market demand and tenant expectations

Before you start your next property update, make sure you’re investing where it truly counts.
