Tips for home improvements that will result in a profit?

Staying Quiet asked:


I have recently purchased a very small home…as a single mom it was the best I could do. However, lately, a lot of my family and friends (the same ones that told me it was smart to buy this house) have said that I will have a hard time making a profit on the home when I resale. I have no plans to resale until at least 5 years…but what are some inexpensive and possible do it yourself improvements I could make that would result in increasing the value of the home. Thank you!

    Do not let them worry you. What is the rush to resell? This is your home.

    Make it yours with fresh paint and wonderful colors.

    Remember curb appeal, so it looks fabulous from the street. These are things we can do a little at a time.

    Use great fabrics for pillows along with new paint.

    Go through decorating magazines for Ideas.

    Our libraries have free magazines. People take them there and pick up the ones they want. Sort of an exchange. It is a great way to get expensive recent magazines.

    Good Luck with your new home. Make it yours.
