To add a Shower or not

[Suraj Guptha]

I bought a 5 bedroom house which actually has about 7 living spaces, one full bathroom and 2 half bathrooms (no shower). I intend to BRRRR with it.

I am very conflicted about expanding one of the 1/2 bathrooms to add a shower. On one hand I am thinking a house with 5-7 rooms should have a second shower to improve rentability and on the other hand I am thinking if I should leave as it is and save on rehab costs. Most 5 bedroom houses in the area have more than 1 shower.

Do you think a second shower is required for a 5 bedroom house for rentability and eventually sellability? 

Will it improve rentability drastically or it won't matter?  

How much would converting a 1/2 bath into a 3/4th bath add to the overall appraised cost? 

Appreciate your views on this.
