Remove Sink in Bedroom?

[Keegan Jones]

Hello all,

I am currently under contract on a 4bd/2bth property that will become a long-term section 8 rental. However, one of the additional bedrooms has a working bathroom vanity with sink installed; worse yet, it is on carpet. This is not the master bedroom and is not even attached to a bathroom so I don't know what the intent behind the sink was when it was installed--seems like a waste of money to have a plumber run lines IMO.

My question is what would some of the more seasoned investors suggest we do? Leave it as is? Have it removed?

It just seems like such a waste of space in the room, would only invite bacteria on the carpet, and is an unnecessary area for possible plumbing problems in the future.

Thank you
