Dave Meyer: 作为房地产投资的负责人，我认为可以通过一些行动来增加房产的价值，例如简单的装饰墙，或者进行中等程度的翻新来增加额外的卧室，甚至可以进行全面的彻底翻新。我邀请了亨利·华盛顿来讨论哪些增值措施是真正值得的，以及如何识别哪些房产适合增值。我承认我是一个不情愿的价值增值投资者，我总是想买可以直接使用的东西，即使这意味着回报较少。 Henry Washington: 从一开始我就在增加房产的价值，比如通过收取市场租金。我选择购买未达到最佳利用状态的房产，然后自己增加价值，而不是购买已经稳定且可以直接使用的房产，因为这才是真正的房地产投资。投资的基本原则是低买高卖，以折扣价购买，然后在较高价值时变现。增加价值的方式有两种：一种是真正增加房产的价值，另一种是增加感知的价值。
