Trading Bedroom Space for A Second Bathroom in a C-Class SFR
I'm purchasing my first rental property - a 1400 sq ft single family ranch in a c-class neighborhood. The bedrooms have damage from a leaky roof so all drywall will need to be replaced.
The home is currently a 3/1 with the bath being on the opposite end of the house from the bedrooms. If you think of a 4-box, The top left bed room is 14x14, top right 15x14, and bottom right 12x14.
I'm thinking adding a second bath to one of the bedrooms would add value and make the rental more desirable (lots of 2/1's and 3/1's in the town). What I can't figure out is where I would put it in the house. Any insight would be helpful.
This is my first post but I've been lurking for many years.
