I'm closing on my first SFH rental in the 19121 zipcode area in Philly and wanted to know what do you usually include in your rentals?
I'll have for sure a refrigerator and a stove. But was thinking about a washer and dryer as well? There is a hock-up in the property, so was just thinking to get an open box washer/dryer from best buy, probably will cost me $800 but I feel I can add about $100/month to the rent. Any thoughts?
The property is a 3beds one bath. So, might be more suitable for a small family, which is why I'm more inclined to add the washer and dryer.
Mine has the washer and dryer in it, mainly because of it's location it's very difficult to get one in an out of the laundry room/half bath. Anyways, I put a stipulation in the lease stating that they can use my washer and dryer if they want. If it breaks- they can pay to have it fixed or I will remove them for free and they can buy their own. This takes my responsibility off of it, and also allows them to use it and not have to purchase a set. Basically they get to use it for free in exchange I'm not going to repair it for them. My set is 11 years old and going strong.
