Ep 10. Rough Rental Reno

In Unsellable Houses season 2 episode 10, titled "Rough Rental Reno," twin sisters Lyndsay and Leslie bring their expertise to a property that has been unsuccessfully marketed as a rental unit for years. The house is a small, outdated property with a lack of curb appeal in a desirable neighborhood near the Puget Sound.

Despite its location, the house has not attracted renters due to its cramped rooms, cluttered spaces, and outdated aesthetic. The sisters take on the challenge of renovating and revamping the property to make it more attractive to potential renters or buyers.

The renovation process begins with the sisters' signature strategy of decluttering and depersonalizing the space. They remove the old carpet, install new flooring, and rework the existing layout to make the house feel more open and spacious. The sisters also completely redo the outdated bathroom and kitchen with modern finishes and fixtures.

To increase the curb appeal and create a more inviting entrance, Lyndsay and Leslie design and install a graceful front porch with a rustic appeal. They use bold colors and add greenery to make the front yard more welcoming. With a fresh coat of paint and some new landscaping, the sisters give the exterior of the house a completely new and modern look.

As the renovation progresses, the sisters encounter multiple unexpected problems, from leaks and floods to broken pipes. However, they work diligently to overcome these issues and complete the renovation on time.

Once the renovation is complete, Lyndsay and Leslie stage the property to showcase its new sophistication and modern style. The transformed rental unit comes to life with new furniture, light fixtures, and home decor. The rooms are clean, bright, and spacious, with vibrant pops of color to create a warm and welcoming space.

In the end, the transformed rental unit has undergone a remarkable renovation that impresses not only the homeowners but also potential renters or buyers. Lyndsay and Leslie have transformed a rundown, outsellable property into a modern, sophisticated rental unit that will not only rent easily but also sell quickly if they choose to put it on the market.

Overall, "Rough Rental Reno" is a satisfying and heartwarming episode that showcases the sisters' unique approach to renovating properties and creating beautiful, livable spaces. With their keen eye and innovative ideas, Lyndsay and Leslie demonstrate their expertise once again and prove that they can work wonders with any space, no matter how run-down or unsellable.
