Electric range or countertop for small rental?

Sam Cha
Posted

Hi, first post here! Buying a house with a basement that I will be renting out. It's all completely renovated, but there is just a wet bar in the basement due to the builder not wanting to go through the process of obtaining a certificate of occupancy. I'm trying to decide on installing a small (24") electric range, vs a countertop stove or induction. How important is it to have that oven vs drawers?

@Sam Cha - Who do you plan to rent the basement out to? Are they AirBnb guests or full time renters? If AirBnb guests, a small countertop stove would probably be fine. But if you are looking for something more permanent, I would definitely recommend the electric range. 

Make sure there is proper ventilation in the basement! You don't want it smelling like fish or whatever else other people cook.
