The renovation projects with the highest return on investment (ROI) in mobile homes include upgrading HVAC and appliances to be more energy-efficient. Installing EnergyStar-rated components if they're not already present in the home is particularly valuable. Additionally, installing smart-home features is an inexpensive way to add home value without spending a fortune on remodeling.
