Chrome vs Black finishes affect on appraisal

Hey BP community, I have gotten a lot of different opinions on this. But wanting to reach out to a large pool of audience to see what their experience have been. I want to try and achieve a high appraisal but the black finishes are about twice as more expensive. I am doing a 4 unit with 8 bathrooms in total. So the double cost really adds up. 

My question - do homes with chrome finishes appraise lower than house with black/gold/non-chrome finishes?

Don't think so, it is more about tile, cabinetry, and countertops in appraisals.   A better quality than your baseline chrome isn't going to help your appraisal but you may want it for maintenance. Its not just the outside of a faucet that may drive price, its good solid construction, that said you don't have to go for top of the line just get good quality.
