Houses with 1 bathroom for SFR

[Jason S.]

As I have been looking to purchase a SFR out-of-state for the first time, I have found many homes are 3/1 or 3/1.5. Where I'm from that would be a bizarre configuration, but the sheer numbers of these types of properties I've found during my search have me wondering if that's just the usual in other states? My instinct was to exclude those in my search as I think they would be less likely to rent (or to re-sell), but I'm aware it may just be exposing my lack of knowledge of other markets.

Can anyone advise on the viability of these types of properties?

Thank you.
