House Hunters Season 2012 Episode 19 First Time Buyers Zack and Lauren Want a Place That Will Generate Income

Zack and Lauren are a young couple who have decided to enter the real estate market for the first time, with the intention of finding a property that can generate income. They have saved up for a down payment, and are looking for a property that can create additional revenue through renting out part of the space or taking advantage of Airbnb.

The episode begins with the couple explaining their goals and budget to their real estate agent, who takes them to see three potential properties. The first property is a small condo in the city, which would require some renovations to make it marketable on Airbnb. The couple seemed interested, but hesitant about the amount of work that would need to be done.

The second property is a single-family home with an attached mother-in-law unit. The couple seemed excited about the potential for renting out the mother-in-law unit, which had its own separate entrance. However, they were concerned about the size of the main house, which was smaller than they had hoped for.

The final property is a multi-family duplex, with two units that were currently rented out. The couple seemed most interested in this property, as it had the potential to generate income immediately. However, they were concerned about the amount of maintenance that would be required and the complexity of managing two separate units.

Throughout the episode, Zack and Lauren discuss the pros and cons of each property with their agent, weighing the potential income against the amount of work and maintenance required. They also discuss their personal preferences, such as proximity to the city and size of the property.

After seeing all three properties, Zack and Lauren take some time to think about their decision. They ultimately decide to make an offer on the multi-family duplex, as they feel it has the most potential for income. They also feel that they can handle the maintenance and management of the property, and are excited about the idea of being landlords.

The episode ends with Zack and Lauren receiving the keys to their new property, and discussing their plans for renovations and finding new tenants for the currently vacant unit. They express their excitement at entering the real estate market and the potential for generating income through their investment.
