Would you renovate bathroom

[Christina Galdieri]

Hi all- we are in the middle of renovating a house we bought to brrrr. We plan to rent this out in the next month. We completely remodeled the kitchen and rest of the house but think we will leave the bathroom alone for now since it’s not within budget to renovate. How much will this impact asking price for rent if we leave as is vs renovate? We are in N Central Florida. Thanks!

You dont need to replace the tile. You can glaze the tub and tile to make it look updated. Change the fixtures and vanity (these are relatively inexpensive) to be more modern. 

Given this is on the BRRR forum, I assume you are looking to refinance? Keeping it the same may affect your appraisal. The biggest value add for BRRRs are Bathrooms and kitchens.
