which is better 3bedrooms 1 bath or 2 beds 2 bath when remodeling ?
Hello, this question is for any real estate professionals or experienced flippers.
I am looking at putting a bid in on a 3 bedroom 1 bath house. It will need some remodeling but i think i can get it at a great price. Before bidding I am putting together a budget of things that need to be done and things i want to be done. This will be my primary residence but i am also thinking of possible resale in a few years.The house has 3 small bedrooms and 1 small bath that is in very bad shape. I was thinking of eliminating 1 bedroom and enlarging 1 bedroom and adding a bath making a small master. which is better for resale? 3bed 1 bath vs 2 bed 2 bath?
The house is in an older established neighborhood. the majority of the residents seem to be empty nester's. (as am I) I agree in a perfect situation would be 3 beds and 2 baths but I'm not sure the budget will stretch for that

Location is your key to your answer. If your location is family friendly, then 3 br/1bath is what you need to move the property. If it is more attractive to smaller families and/or singles, the 2br/1bath is the way to move it.
Remember that we have a whole generation of baby boomers who want to leave their large homes in search of a smaller one. I'd do the 2/2 if it was me.

It depends on where you live. In a typical suburban area, most buyers will need at least 3 bedrooms. A master and two kids rooms or a master, kids and office. They will look at the house you have in mind and figure they could add on a second bathroom which is what I would do. Is there room to add on a master bath without sacrificing a bedroom? I would remodel into 3 beds, 2 baths. 2 beds, 2 baths limits the number of potential buyers significantly.

You would have a hard time with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. If you get a master suite and 2 bathrooms that may work, and let people over look only 2 bedrooms. Not everyone has kids, so that would be acceptable to any without.
