1st Rental - Shower & Bath Doors - Glass or Curtains?

Andrew Litton
Posted

Hi everyone, 

This would be my 1st rental property, and am reaching out to the community for some hopefully veteran opinions. 

Should I pay approx. $2400 for glass shower doors or $500 for quality curved curtain rods?

Background: This is a 2 berm/ 2 bath in the valley of Los Angeles in a nice neighborhood. The condo vibe is upper middle class in the sense of clean, neat, new white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, etc. 

I'm concerned the bathrooms are too small for a curved curtains and they may make the user feel claustrophobic. 

On the other hand, $2400 is a lot of money and would eat a lot into the profits. 

In addition, these tubs are only fiberglass and not tile... unsure how nice glass would look on fiberglass

Expecting ~ $2300-2800/month rent

Any opinions are welcome! Thank you
