Kitchen redo - should we put in dishwasher?

[Kel S]

We are putting in a lower offer on a house we've had our eye on and if we get it we'll need to redo the kitchen. Which has been gutted (no cabinets, counters, sinks, appliances, etc.,) So my question is, there is a place where it looked like it had a built in dishwasher. Being this will be a rental would you put another dishwasher in?

I've always heard the more appliances, the more future maintenance which makes sense. However, if we don't put in the dishwasher, will that turn people off from renting the place?

I know personally, I'm spoiled having a DW. I'd hate to have to go back to doing them by hand....did I just answer my own question? LOL!

Oh, boy. You are such an elitist...

No, I'm not an elitist, but on the other hand I'm not a lazy riff-raff deadbeat being supported by the government (hardworking taxpayers) either. Low income tenants are low income tenants precisely because they consistently make bad decisions. They have illegitimate kids by multiple men; they drink too much and do drugs; they drop out of high school in favor of being a petty criminal; they are too lazy to work; they have to use one hand to hold their pants up as they walk down the street, etc. In other words, they get what they deserve. I'll take that back - they get MORE than they deserve! When I get to be The Chosen One's housing czar, they'll all be living under a bridge. Until then, I'll provide safe and clean housing and collect the money that the government (the taxpayer) is wasting to house these people.

BTW, you don't need a dishwasher to make low income tenants happy. If you provide safe and clean housing, you're housing will be nicer than 95% of all the low income housing out there (including Section 8 housing).

This is literally the vilest thing I've read on any forum in a long long time. I cannot believe you are a landlord. Unbelievable!
