Looking to make upgrades to my house

I'm looking to upgrade my house, like in the kitchen or bathroom. I'm not looking to spend a whole lot, but would like to increase the value. Where is the best place to start at? What kinds of things add the most value? I want the property to be more appealing to renters when we move, and I also want to increase the value of the property down the line when I decide to sell.

If the house was built in 2019 and you are going to rent it, I wouldn't do many renovations.  Unless there was a hideous choice of a light fixture or flooring, you could change a few small things but most renters are not going to pay more as it is already shiny and new.  With rentals it is important to know when to change things and when to leave them. E.g., changing something because it is broken or poor quality and will quickly become broken or changing them to suit your preference.
