Hello OP
It’s all contingent on the purchase price and loan type (and required down payment).

I’m based in So Cal and own a rental property in Colorado but I have a property manager. I own a single family home. There are issues that are a pain. The wind storm in Jan 2022 damaged section of the fence, a large tree died, finding a lawn care service was really difficult and multiple providers just stopped showing up. On the flip side condos have significant HOA a fees that I hate to pay. I’ve moved my future investments to private real estate funds now. I don’t want to deal with being a landlord.

It’s a hassle to lift it up change the tiles and fixtures and put it back. It’s old but works great. Remodeling ppl recommend get rid of it, give space to buyers if they want to buy standalone tub. I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
