Anyone added a bathroom recently in an older rental home?

My favorite rental has 1.5 baths! BUILT 1964 during a drought so city put a limit on plumbing. But the finished basement has plenty of room to add a 3/4 ==house has to be empty to do this==competing properties selling in the <350K with 2 baths. If I add a 3/4 it will have “3” baths so very desirable

2100 sq ft with a gorgeous huge sun porch and many mid-century details, hardwoods, great location

Very safe, walk to huge park

Probably have to pay someone (GC) to draw up plan and building dept might not issue permits (plumbing, electric, walls, etc) so that might be cost.

Appreciate your ideas. The laundry/utility room has furnace & hw heater, laundry, shares wall with garage, could do some reorg there. Since the plumbing is already there for the washer & etc. So far no tenants have ever used at-grade garage for any vehicle ... all sorts in there what a messs
