Weekly Slice 232: Top 5 Cost-Effective Ways to Boost Rental Property Value - with Belinda Botzolis & Todd Sloan

Top 5 Cost-Effective Ways to Boost Rental Property Value     Are you a property investor wondering how to boost your rental income without simply raising the rent? In this episode, Todd chats with property expert Belinda about smart, cost-effective ways to add value to your investment property—by thinking like a tenant. From layout tweaks to smart appliances, they break down exactly what renters are willing to pay more for, and why those small changes can mean big returns.   Belinda explains how repurposing underused spaces can instantly increase cash flow by turning them into functional bedrooms or study spaces. These aren’t high-cost renovations, but clever modifications designed with rental demand in mind. She also shares personal examples where a few subtle upgrades—like fresh paint and a neutral smell—led to stronger tenant demand and higher rental offers.   The conversation covers five key value-adds and long-term reinvestment strategies. It’s not about spending tens of thousands—it's about understanding what tenants actually want and delivering that in a cost-effective, flexible way that still allows future resale adaptability.   Tune in for valuable advice that can help property investors thrive in today’s market!     🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
