Convert my only bathtub to a walk in shower? Will this hurt resale? This is my primary residence, 1br1ba condo. Planning to eventually rent it out.

IMO, you need at least one tub in the house but, that could be area dependent

I probably wouldn’t go through the effort for a rental or resale. You are taking away options. I do have 4 houses with showers only, one has a rooftop jacuzzi. It’s never been an issue. The one with the Rooftop jacuzzi is my most popular rental. I personally don’t like the tub shower combos they look cheap. The shower curtains are the worst. Straight out of the 70’s. Some parents prefer a tub for little kids, but you have a 1bdrm.

If I kept the tub, should I get a sliding glass door?

It may turn some buyers away, but it may not matter to others. You only need 1 buyer to like your place when you sell it (although multiple buyers can drive up the sale price). I have a 2br 2ba condo that does not have a tub and it’s been fine.

For a 1br, I can’t imagine not having a bath would hurt you. Since you still live there and will get to appreciate the shower, I would lean toward doing it.

Yeah but now I keep hearing different opinions. I might just keep it and reglaze.

I'm going to accept an offer that's 150k+🎉 I'm a single filer, no kids. I'll be able to max out: 401k, HSA, but from my understanding, I will not qualify to utilize IRA?

But what about mega-backdoor Roth IRA? I'll admit, I still need to read more on it.

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.
