Out of the In-Laws, Into Reno is the second episode of the fifth season of House Hunters Renovation. In this episode, a young couple named Rebecca and Alonzo are ready to leave their cramped in-law suite and find a home of their own in Reno, Nevada. They have a budget of $325,000 and are looking for a home that they can renovate to fit their modern and eclectic style.
The couple has been living with Rebecca's parents for over a year and they are ready to have some space of their own. They are hoping to find a home with a spacious kitchen and a large backyard where they can entertain and have family gatherings. Rebecca loves mid-century modern design and is hoping to find a home with some original elements from that era.
The first home they look at is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a lot of potential. It has a large kitchen and living room, but the bedrooms are smaller than they would like. The backyard is also not very big, which is a concern for them. They are excited about the home's potential and are willing to put in the work to renovate it.
The second home they view is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a lot of character. It has a large backyard and a pool, which is a plus for them. The home has a lot of original mid-century modern features, which is exactly what Rebecca is looking for. However, the home also needs a lot of work and is over their budget by $25,000.
The third and final home they visit is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that has been recently renovated. The home has an open floor plan and a large backyard with a patio. However, the home is not as large as they would like and the bedrooms are small. They are also concerned that the home is too close to a busy street.
After some deliberation, they decide to put in an offer on the second home, which has the mid-century modern charm they love. They are excited about the potential of the home and are willing to make some compromises to make it work within their budget. They hire a contractor to help them with the renovations and they work together to create their dream home.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the couple's unique style and strong teamwork as they navigate the renovation process. They work together to make design decisions and find unique pieces to incorporate into their home. The couple's energy and excitement for their renovation project is infectious, making it an enjoyable episode to watch for fans of the show.
