Thanks everyone for the advice. I am going to get it fixed...it was there at move in and they do use it. I'll possibly replace with a unit without the dispenser upon their departure. Cheers!

...should i fix? I feel that this component is a liability to have in a fridge IN a rental (single family in an intact, transitional neighbourhood). I am thinking that I'll see about fixing if it's reasonable, but if not just keep the fridge as is. Once the whole thing tanks, I would replace with a unit that doesn't have a water dispenser.
Thoughts??

I am looking for these values to help evaluate MF properties. I believe that Commercial MLS has these, but I am not a realtor. I wish to use these to compare against Gross SF to see if there are any opportunities to add a unit or add in addition bedrooms, etc.
THANKS!!

I would like to search for properties (commercial and/or residential) with a higher delta between Gross and Rental Square Footages. Are there any good search tools that I can gain access to that would have these data two points? Cheers!

@Alex Kovalenko Move on. Make sure to stick with your minimum requirements (a background check should be one of them to protect your asset). Fast forward a bit and imagine him as a tenant...sounds like he'll be difficult.

I just started using FF and it's hard to get people to respond. I am guessing that Seattle is pretty competitive. But whenever your see a lead (person looking for a place) with an email and/or phone #, call them directly if you can; email second; Lastly use FF's email tool if the first two are not present.

Sorry for the massive delay. I connected with David Fritch: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/3cityDave. Good conversation, but the driving force will really have to come from you. Cheers!

Would you mind correcting your email images so they're not all stretched out? It distracts from the amazing content that you produce, plus there's a hit to Bigger Pockets' credibility as well. Cheers!
