Imani Keal turned renovating a rented apartment into a career

Imani Keal, a content creator and DIY expert from Washington, spent about $ 35,000 renovating her rented apartment. She not only documented every step of the transformation but also turned it into a full-fledged career by creating the platform «Imani At Home», - where she shares her projects and teaches other renters.

According to Keal, her investments in the apartment were not in vain. She believes she deserves a beautiful living space and is not willing to wait until she becomes a homeowner to invest in where she lives. Keal also noted that her income from the content she created significantly exceeds her renovation costs.

Imani emphasizes that DIY is not just a way to improve her home but also a passion. She encourages renters not to view their apartments as temporary spaces but to see them as places where they can be happy. Keal shares tips on how to start improving one’s living space, beginning with small and inexpensive changes, and recommends not being afraid to discuss ideas with landlords.
