@Justin Munk I've heard Brandon say this on the podcasts multiple times and I've personally found it to be true....weird houses attract weird tenants.  IMO most people will think this is an issue.    Good luck.

Hi Justin,

It's not optimal, and depending on the demand for 3/1's it might effect the rent you can charge for it, and vacancy rate.

You noticed it, others will probably notice it too. Will it be a deal breaker to someone else? Probably for some.

Scott...

Good thinking Justin!  See if you can access the only bathroom from the hall but that typically is shied away from by the master bedroom people but if it is the only one it may be accepted.  Best wishes!

@Michael Lewis Lee Great feedback! It just seems like it could be a problem. I will look at what my options are to re-arrange the bathroom to maybe be accessed from the hallway or something. For that to work I would need to get a great deal.

Hello Justin!  I believe in what Scott said.  That will not be a good situation for most no matter the demand in that area.  Not a good property to own.  Unless you can get a great deal and the worst case scenario will still put money in your pocket after all expenses are paid might still be bad.  You may have to discount it to sell it.  If you are not planning a new bathroom without adding to the slab it might be a bad property.  I would not consider it unless you have a long term renter already waiting.

@Scott Mac Thanks. I guess it's hard to tell how big of an issue it will be.
