Renovate to Rent Season 2 Episode 10 Up-and-Coming Neighborhood

In Renovate to Rent season 2 episode 10, titled "Up-and-Coming Neighborhood," hosts Andy and Heather take on a new challenge as they scour a neighborhood for affordable properties that they can renovate for rental purposes. The pair has a sharp eye for what's hot and what's not in real estate, and they are on a mission to find a hidden gem in a neighborhood that's on the brink of a skyrocketing boom.

As they drive through the area, Andy and Heather talk about the prime locations where they could find a property that fits their needs. They discuss their budget, their design goals, and how they can make the most out of small spaces. Heather is especially excited about finding a fixer-upper that she can decorate with her signature bohemian flair, while Andy is more focused on the numbers and return on investment.

Finally, they come across a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house that's in desperate need of some TLC. It's in a great location, close to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. The house has good bones, but it's outdated and the yard is overgrown with weeds. Andy and Heather decide to take the plunge and buy the property, confident that with some elbow grease and a few smart design choices, they can turn it into a stunning rental.

They start by cleaning up the yard and removing any debris. Then they go inside and assess the damage. The house needs new flooring, fresh paint, and updated fixtures. The kitchen is small and outdated, but Heather has a vision for how to make it feel more spacious and modern. She wants to install open shelving and paint the cabinets in a bold, yet neutral color. Andy agrees, knowing that modernizing the kitchen will appeal to potential renters.

Next, they tackle the bathrooms. The guest bathroom is small and cramped, so they decide to tear out the tub and replace it with a walk-in shower. They add new tiles, fresh paint, and new fixtures to give the room a clean, modern look. The master bathroom is a bit larger, but it has a cramped shower and outdated tiles. Andy and Heather decide to remove the shower enclosure and install a new, larger shower with glass doors. They also add new tiles and new lighting fixtures.

As the renovation progresses, Andy and Heather run into some unexpected challenges. They discover that the drywall in the living room is rotten and has to be replaced. They also find some termite damage in one of the bedrooms. But they don't let these setbacks discourage them. Instead, they use them as opportunities to improve the property even more.

Finally, the renovation is complete, and Andy and Heather are thrilled with the results. The house is now a modern, stylish rental property that's perfect for a small family or a group of young professionals. They stage the house with some furniture and decor to give potential renters an idea of what it could look like with their own personal touches. They also list the property online and start receiving inquiries almost immediately.

In the end, Andy and Heather feel a sense of pride and satisfaction as they drive away from their newly renovated rental property. They know that they've not only made a good investment, but they've also helped to revitalize a neighborhood that's on the rise. And they're already on the lookout for their next renovation project.
