Should I remove the only bathtub in my SFR?
About a year ago, I purchased a 3bd/1ba single family property that needs some work in a college town (< 1 miles away from the football stadium). I'm currently living in and renting it out to a college buddy and a current student at the university. Ideally, I'd like to renovate the property, refinance (PMI stinks), and put that money towards more real estate.
My question is: would it hurt the value of my property if I got rid of the bathtub/shower for a standalone shower?
I guess my main concern would be reducing the applicant pool when it comes to families with young children. However, the neighborhood that the house is situated in doesn't have many young children living in it, and more specifically, the street I live on has absolutely no kids and is mostly comprised of young professionals, graduate students, or retirees.
I'd appreciate any and all input on this.
