4 INTELLIGENT BENEFITS OF RENOVATING A BASEMENT • Adding an Additional Bedroom • Homeowners can increase the square footage of their home with basement renovations. By finishing their basement space, they can possibly add one or more additional bedrooms to their home. • Adding an Additional Bathroom • Rather having only one bathroom, having a two-bathroom home can be appealing to those in the market for a new home. Of course, adding a bathroom to your basement requires more than just drywall making is costlier. • Property Value Increased • Renovating a basement will increase the value of your investment property. This is considered a great return even though it is possibly not considered “livable square footage” by Market Listing Service. • Income Property • Whether you have plans to quickly sell an investment property or maintain it as a multifamily, you can add a rental unit with basement renovation. This is dependent on zoning department approval in your area, however.
