Married and eager to start a family, Nicole and Colby are hoping to find a picture-perfect dog-friendly home where they can put down roots. And in the meantime, they're squatting at a friend's place increasingly concerned they may never find a property of their own. In order to get the couple into their preferred neighborhood, Drew and Jonathan start by convincing them to buy and renovate a fixer-upper. Even with expert guidance, the house hunt takes longer than expected, and Nicole is determined to hold out for a home that feels loved. Later, Jonathan must deal with a laundry list of nasty surprises, and a collapsing ceiling is just the beginning.

A full-time teacher, student, and single mom, Dionna dreams of providing the best home possible for her young son. They've definitely outgrown her tiny apartment. And now with her stylish best friend along for the ride, Dionna is determined to track down a budget-friendly dream home that's fit for a queen and her prince. Drew and Jonathan's first order of business is to reconcile Dionna's blinged-out wish list with her modest budget, but she's not quite ready to give up on her big dreams. A looted luxury home catches her eye, but the property comes with a roller coaster ride of surprises. And once Jonathan gets started on a major makeover, he's got to hustle to keep the project on time and on budget.
