10 Easy DIY Home Upgrades That Will Increase Your Home’s Value

Owning a luxury home for short-term rentals is a fantastic investment, but staying competitive requires keeping your property in top shape. While professional renovations can be costly, these 10 easy DIY upgrades will not only boost your home's value but also attract more discerning guests and command higher rental rates. Let's get started!

1. Refresh the Curb Appeal

First impressions matter, so refreshing your curb appeal is crucial for attracting luxury renters. Give your home a facelift with a thorough power wash. Consider repainting the front door or shutters in a sophisticated, modern color. Tidy up the landscaping by trimming overgrown bushes, adding colorful flowerbeds, and ensuring the lawn is manicured.

Consider adding outdoor lighting for an evening glow. Install new house numbers, a stylish mailbox, and a high-end doorknob.
These small details make a big difference.

2. Elevate the Entryway
