What do you all think will get me the best bang for the buck: 1. combining shower with half bath and making the house a 2.5 bath property2. setting up a 'laundry room' on the second floor, between both bedrooms (laundry hookups are currently in basement)3.

Maybe you could get one combined mortgage at an overall lower rate.
