do you add bathrooms and convert the garage to rooms as well?

Rent in the neighborhood is $895 for a 2 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bathroom, so for 4 units it will total up to $3,580 ($1,073 difference).

I spend roughly $120k on my renovations, but this is for the entire property and developing the secondary suite which certainly costs more (2 new furnaces, all new plumbing, new kitchens and bathrooms with tiled floors and showers).All said and done, I personally love it.

I will say we are way out of town with just a small market close so it makes sense to have a fully loaded house.We only provide 2 small soaps and 2 shampoo bottles in each bathroom.

Bathroom and kitchen need redone.

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

My family of 4 is currently sharing 1 bathroom.

While replacing the toilet, a burst pipe caused Cat 3 water damage that rendered large part of downstairs kitchen and upstairs bathroom unavailable and cordoned off for repairs .

In 2024 I added a half bathroom our of existing space in a high cost area (over $2k/ft). 

In some older neighborhoods especially historic districts, the tenants look for older houses - they preferred the art deco bathroom tiles, the thick plaster & lath walls over granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.but class D neighborhoods are easiest to tell.
