Now lets talk about two more simple home upgrades that bring value to your home curb appeal and paint. Go down the street and while you drive by your home do you think the outside aesthetic will make someone stop? If not you can do simple upgrades to your front loan like trimming your trees and bushes if you don't have any plant some and add some mulch this will compliment your home. There is nothing wrong with having every room is your home a different crazy color its your do as you please, but is you are looking to improve your home value doing a 180 is the best route.

Giving more to your principal when paying your mortgage will increase the value of your home not by making your home more expensive but by putting more money in your pocket when you sell. Another thing to keep in mind is that paying more to your principal will also lower the amount of interest you owe!
