Bathtub: Very slow draining 2.

It's been a hard slog renovating.I bought most of the materials off craigslist and offerup or materials on clearance sale at the big name stores.Brand new bathtubs- freeFound them in another building I ownBrand new modern vanities- $65Marked down from $400 at Home DepotKitchens with granite bench tops- $1000 eachPurchased from CraigslistShower screens, toilets, faucets, front doors, new windows and various other bits and pieces were bought for $20-$40 on Craigslist and offerup.The total rehab cost for installing central AC, 2 new bathrooms and 2 new kitchens, washer and dryer and updating plumbing and electrical is around 18K for materials and labor.Each side is rented for $1400 per month, total $2800.

When it comes to units that you own, every bathtub, stair step, hand rail, linoleum floor, rusty nail, splinted fence, exposed tree root,  fireplace and electrical outlet is a potential exposure.

I have soaked them in bathtub before to try to clean and I don't really care to do that again.

We have cleaned the walls twice with TSP and they still look terrible, hopefully the primer will cover up the brown colors and the smells.I also managed to get everything for the house ordered this weekend from door knobs, to flooring, to shingles, to bath tubs...

House is in a good HOA community, recently upgraded, stainless steel appliances, larger bathtubs with price points in the $200,000+range.

I had a plumber go by yesterday to do a leak detection, and he found a slab leak under the bathtub in the bathroom.

For those who are buy and hold investors who have done complete gut rehabs, is there a need to keep the bathtubs?

The bathroom consisted of the hot water heater, sink, old cast iron bathtub (like 400lbs worth), and toilet all of which needed to be replaced.

A home that I rented had a bathtub along the outer wall of the 2nd floor.
