🤑 If you’re looking to add value to your home or investment property, consider these renovations as some are more cost-effective than others.

1. Paint & Flooring
Further, paint and flooring are the easiest renovations to make, and if done right, can make a huge impression on the home.

2. Kitchen Remodels
The kitchen is often the first consideration when someone looks at a home to buy, which is why making sure it is modern and fresh-looking is important if you’re looking to sell.

3. Bathroom Remodels
If your bathroom isn’t in terrible shape, you can get away with just replacing the toilet and vanity and not have to mess with the tub/shower, which can be expensive.

4. Fixtures & Hardware
Replacing faucets, light fixtures, door handles, etc. can give the room a new look and feel and you won’t have had to spend a great deal of money to get it.

5. Other Renovations
Landscaping adds to the curb appeal of the home, but most buyers are more willing to deal with the landscaping than they are large kitchen or bathroom remodels.

🤔 Got white cabinets in your kitchen?

🤩 Here’s how to keep them clean

1. Wipe Down High-traffic Cabinets Every Day
While it’s not feasible to wipe down every cabinet in your kitchen every day, you can run a damp dishcloth over the ones that get used more often.

2. Use Your Vent Hood When Cooking
You can help lessen this problem by consistently using your vent hood while cooking.

3. Install New Hardware
If your kitchen cabinets don’t have pulls or the pulls themselves don’t allow much room to keep from touching the doors, install new hardware.

4. Do A Deep Clean A Few Times A Year
A few times a year, take the time to really clean and polish your kitchen cabinets.

🏠 It’s not just your house that has to be in top form when you put it on the market. You have to make a good impression also.

👉 Here are several tips to help you be the perfect home seller.

1. Be Scarce

One of the biggest turn-offs for buyers is a seller who hovers over their shoulders as they tour a house. If you are present when potential buyers visit your home, they may not feel free to ask certain questions, and you may say something that could jeopardize a sale.

2. Give Up Your Parking Space

A good seller wants a potential buyer to be able to picture themselves living in the home. You can help further this image by allowing buyers to pull up in the driveway and park as if they own it.

3. Take Your Pets With You When You Leave For A Showing

The buyers who come to your home for viewing might be animal lovers, too, but you should always take your pets with you when you leave.

4. Place Important Documents In Plain View

Because you’ll be leaving when potential buyers come to view your home, you’ll want to place important documents such as the home inspection report, home warranty, and appraisal on a table for easy viewing.

5. Don’t Pressure The Buyers For Feedback

You may be excited to hear a buyer’s feedback right after a showing, but a good seller gives the buyer time to process what they’ve seen and made a decision.

💸 Looking to breathe new life into a room without spending a fortune?

🔻 Here are several ideas to help you makeover any room on a budget.

Visit local thrift stores
Thrift stores are a great place to find things to redecorate with on the cheap.

A bold entryway
Make quite a statement when guests first walk into your home by creating a striking entryway.

A natural touch
Give any room a natural touch by adding woven accents around the room.

Repurpose old furniture into something new
If you have an old dresser you don’t use anymore, you can turn it into the living room’s entertainment center very easily.

Behind the couch
Give an old shelving unit a new job by painting it and placing it behind the couch.

Balance lights and darks
To keep a room bright and inviting, be sure to balance dark furniture with lighter wall and accent colors.

Multi-purpose furnishings
For instance, a sturdy dining room table can serve as both a place to eat and a place to work if space is limited in the home.

Diy projects
The internet is full of diy tutorials for all sorts of things.

❗So, you want to invest in a condo? Here are four important questions to ask yourself first.

4 Things To Ask Yourself Before Investing In Condos

1. What stipulations does the lender require? For instance, many lenders require 20-25 percent down (this usually applies to most real estate investments – condo or otherwise).

2. How long do you intend to keep ownership of the condo? Condos tend to appreciate slower than individual real estate properties. Of course, the area and the market have something to do with appreciation as well

3. What do hoa fees cover and who pays them homeowner’s association (hoa) hoas are typically in charge of things like sewer, water, garbage, exterior maintenance, lawn care, security, a rec center, pool, and more.

4. Will you manage the condo yourself or hire a property manager?
If you choose to manage the building yourself, you’ll need to set firm rules in the lease agreement as to your operating hours and where/who to contact after hours or when you’re out of town.

🏠 Want To Make Your Home More Appealing In Front Of Guests?

Tips to make your home more contemporary

1. Arranging and decorating the living room
Use end tables and/or a coffee table to provide plenty of space for drinks.

2. Choosing wall colors
Wall colors inside your home should invoke positive feelings.

3. Adding curtains for emphasis
When chosen correctly, they can really jazz up the appearance in any room.

4. Flooring
The only rule of thumb here is to choose something that enhances the beauty of the room’s décor.

5. Adding plants and flowers
Green plants have a calming effect on the senses.

6. Hang contemporary art
If you’re an artist yourself, don’t be afraid to hang some of your own framed work on the walls, too.

7. Decorate your ceiling fans
Up the ante, by decorating the blades of your ceiling fans to coordinate with the rooms they hang in.

🤔 Thinking of revamping your home?

😄 Here are a few hot home trends to consider

1. Go Neutral
Neutrals have been a going trend for quite some time now, and for good reason. Not only are they calming and relaxing, but they also provide the perfect backdrop for pops of color and pattern.

2. Velvet Furniture
If your mind automatically goes to the old, ugly red velvet couch of yesteryear, think again. Today’s design trends include a multitude of velvet furnishings, with sofas taking center stage.

3. Monochrome
From one end of the color spectrum to the other, black and white are the yin and yang of the color world. Design trends have always married these two colors, and today, they continue their wedded bliss with combinations such as black furnishings and white throw pillows.

4. Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns are on everything these days. From coffee cups to wallpaper and everything in between, it’s easy to overdo this design trend. The key to using geometric prints in your home is to choose one aspect you’d like to be the focal point and go geo to your heart’s content.

5. Health And Wellbeing
In today’s busy world, it’s becoming more and more important to have a place to relax and rejuvenate. The home is the perfect place to create this oasis. From incorporating wellness amenities in already existing homes to building eco-friendly features into new homes, this trend is meant to fight the everyday stress, pollution, and unhealthy lifestyle practices that have taken over our lives.

6. Pops Of Green
Green has always been synonymous with nature. As the trend turns toward health and wellness, so does the inclusion of the color green. A great way to include this vibrant shade in your home is to add live plants here and there.

👉 If you’re looking for an inexpensive all-purpose cleaner, look no further than distilled vinegar.

🌟 Here are several things you can clean with this effective cleaner.

1. The Coffee Maker
Pour vinegar into the water reservoir. Let it sit for an hour and then run the machine as you normally would. The vinegar will clean and loosen hard water deposits inside the machine.

2. Hard Floors
Vinegar is an excellent floor cleaner, especially on linoleum and porcelain. You can use a higher vinegar to water concentration for these floors.

3. The Stovetop
Vinegar, when combined with orange peels, cinnamon, and cloves makes a great stovetop degreaser. Use the solution to remove grease from the stovetop or any other hard surface in the kitchen and leave behind a fresh scent.

4. The Showerhead
Soaking the showerhead in a solution of vinegar and baking soda will remove the buildup and leave it sparkling clean.

5. The Dishwasher
To keep your dishwasher in tip-top working condition, place a coffee mug full of white vinegar upright on the top rack. Leave the rest of the dishwasher empty and run a regular cycle.

6. The Microwave
Make the job easier by microwaving about two inches of vinegar in the unit for about two minutes. The hot vinegar will steam, loosening the stuck-on food. When the two minutes is up, remove the vinegar and wipe the inside of the microwave clean.

7. A Humidifier
Empty any water left in the machine. Pour two cups of vinegar inside and shake or stir it around to loosen any grime in the reservoir. Empty the vinegar and rinse the unit out.
