Deal-breaker on MTR?

Chelsea Price
Posted

Found an amazing newly updated penthouse condo in a hip neighborhood that’s actually within my budget. BUT!!! It only has a laundry facility on site, not in the actual condo. No hook-ups, nada. Dealbreaker?

Well I would say it depends.. how easy is it to use the laundry? Is it free or paid?

Coin slots. Smh I know when people search through filters I’ll probably lose half my audience based on not having w/d. 


 I would imagine it really depends on the market. If other listings on FF are similarly appointed, it may not be a big deal at all. If the penthouse is in an amazing location, that may make up for the lack of W&D in-Unit. If you're willing to drop the rent a little compared to similar properties, that can draw attention to your unit. 

Another option: is there a drop-off/pick-up laundromat nearby? Can you set up an account that your residents can use up to $X a month? Bonus points if the laundromat does pick up and delivery. 

A lot of "missing" amenities can be made up for with companies that provide a service, if you're clever about it :)
