Fridge and W/D Upstairs. Should I provide them?
I just signed my deposit on a duplex I'm having built on a lot that I already own. Making all the decisions now with my GC. Kitchen on the ground floor with engineered wood laminate floor. Laundry room is on the 2nd floor. Laundry room will have a washer pan with a drain to the outside with tile floors.
Fridge: I'm planning on providing the fridge as I don't want some old ratty fridge dragged across my floors.
Same logic on the washer/dryer? If I have them put in myself, I keep most dents and dings from occurring. I can make sure the right hoses are used, and that the connections are secure.
But I'm looking at 2 fridges, 2 washers, 2 dryers in expense.
What would you advise?
I do have one existing rental. I provided the fridge, tenants provide the W/D. I did have to fix a ding in the wall going upstairs.
