Maximizing ROI with Smart Renovations – A Deptford Case Study

In the world of real estate investing, renovations can make or break your bottom line. While some investors over-improve and overspend, others cut corners and diminish property value. At Hall of Fame Real Estate, we take a balanced, data-driven approach to renovations—aiming for maximum ROI with minimum waste.

Let’s look at a recent example from Deptford, NJ, one of the strongest flip markets in South Jersey. We acquired a dated 3-bedroom Cape Cod-style home for $225,000. The bones were good, but the layout was tight, the kitchen was outdated, and the home lacked a second bathroom—a major turn-off for families.

Here’s what we did:

• Reconfigured the kitchen to open up the space

• Added a second full bath using existing square footage

• Installed new LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and energy-efficient windows

• Painted neutral colors to enhance natural light

• Landscaped the front yard for strong curb appeal

The entire rehab took just 34 days, thanks to our in-house construction team. Final sales price? $350,000—a $75,000 margin, even after expenses.

But this wasn’t just a fluke. Santini Lancioni, HOF’s CEO, teaches that smart flips require a formula:

1. Understand the end buyer – Design for your audience.

2. Avoid over-improving – Invest where it counts most: kitchens, bathrooms, layout.

3. Control the process – Our vertically integrated team eliminates delays and miscommunication.
