Pros/Cons of adding a disposal and diswasher to rentals?
I appoligize if this topic has been posted before, but I could not find it in a search. I am also a newbie.
I am planning the remodel of a House with apt and need your advice.
The property is 1.5 miles from Downtown Houston in a "transition" neighborhood. New development is rapidly approaching from Downtown, while other nearby neighborhoods with similar 1920-1930 homes are being lovingly restored. Values are increasing rapidly.
I expect to rent this place for 4-5 years and re-evaluate.
My question is: Should I add a disposal and dishwasher during the rehab? I have been told that they are a pain in the *** because renters will clog the drain and I will get the 12 midnight call. Comps in the area do not have them.
I will be adding separate elec. meters and doing alot of rewiring, so even if I don't add the appliances, I may add the electrical circuits in preparation for a future flip.
What is difference in rent between having a D/W disposal and not? And are they as big a headache as I have heard.
