Sacrificing a bedroom to add a bathroom, worth it or not?
Hello, I am currently deciding whether to add a bathroom to a Victorian flat we will be putting on the market for rent. It is a 1,350 sqft 7 room flat in the Dobuce Triangle area. Currently it has 4 bedrooms with only one bathroom. Not sure if it would be more valuable to add an extra bathroom and sacrifice a bedroom. Or just to keep in original format with 4 beds and 1 bath. We are expecting to rent that place for around 5-6K monthly, so it will be a higher end rental.
The negative side of adding a bathroom is that it will make it more likely that the place is going to be subbed out to multiple renter vs a family .

Study your market to determine what the higher demand is and act accordingly. A second bathroom sounds nice but maybe the need for your market is a fourth bedroom. Don't base it on the advice of strangers like me that know nothing about your local market.
