Updated properties command premium rents. Most owners see 15–25% rent increase potential after quality renovation work.
Residents stay longer in well-maintained properties. Reducing one turnover saves $3,000–$8,000 in lost rent and make-ready costs.
Every $1 of NOI improvement drives $12–$17 of asset value at typical Houston cap rates. Renovation pays for itself at sale.
