Which home renovations will boost your property’s value and put you in a better position to sell? Or, if you’re not selling, how do you rake in even more equity during a hot housing market? If you have some time, a bit of money, and the knowledge from this episode, you can instantly increase your home value through some standard home renovations. But we’re not just talking about replacing the roof (although we DO talk about that); we’re getting into the nitty gritty of exterior home renovations that’ll truly make you richer.

So, how did we come up with the best bang-for-buck home renovation list? Easy—we didn’t! We just asked pro flippers James Dainard and Jessie Rodriguez to do it for us. Both of these investing veterans have flipped hundreds of houses. They know what’s worth the cost and, more importantly, what isn’t. Together, they drop some time-tested gems on the home renovation hit list that’ll turn your outdated home into an up-to-date masterpiece and bring about bidding wars.

Stick around because we’re going to share the renovations that will give you a 100% ROI, the easy fixes that, when not addressed, can cost you tens of thousands, and the simple upgrades that’ll make your home stand out from the competition!
