It sounds like the bathroom would be added to your primary residence so it partially depends on when you would look to sell the home or start otherwise renting it out.

Then I calculate that replacing the roof, HVAC, and remodeling bathrooms/kitchens would cost $400,000.  

In order to minimize the potential for mold growth in the property, Resident(s) must: *Keep Premises clean, especially the kitchen, bathroom(s), carpets and floors.

This year, between tenants, I will be replacing the carpet with vinyl flooring, updating the bathroom vanity/lighting/mirror, and some other small updates such as changing out light fixtures, and faucets, and switching the old blinds from fresh curtains.

I think a strategy that would serve me well is one where I buy a 2 (or 3) bedroom house with 1.5+ bathrooms.

I've mainly looked at Home Depot/Lowes for flooring and larger items and got hardware like knobs, faucets from amazon/wayfair but curious to hear where you all get your materials fromAlso, need to get a double vanity for master bathroom, any recommendations?

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

The bathroom is right next to the kitchen.

After about 1.5 years of owning them, i did some minor cabinet upgrades, bathroom upgrades.Zillow and all other real estate websites show the current value at $120-125 K.
