@Wei HuangYour market will dictate whether you turn the split into an up-down duplex or keep it as an SFR.Here, we have student house where we have a kitchenette in the basement which has everything but a range and dishwasher (i.e. sink, fridge, microwave).  

Look at the Craigslist ads and see if there's anyone renting without a fridge. 

For future reference don't put in fridges with ice makers in rentals.

For example, you should learn how to change a light bulb (yes, even in your fridge) and learn how to reach inside your fridge and adjust the temperature so it does not freeze your food.

I'd also include a small apartment fridge and microwave in each room, so tenants won't be eating each other's food and fighting about it and complaining to you about it.  

I can evaluate some of it, but often times I don't see a spot on the wall to be patched and painted until the couch is out of the way, or a broken shelf in the fridge until all the junk has been removed. 

Cleaning grease is a lot harder than I thought, special chemicals still require multiple cleanings...Moving the fridge was an eye opener as the floor was filthy with food grease and mouse droppings they chose not to clean. 

But, it's easy to just replace a hot water heater if necessary.We also provided a little stove/oven (gas) and there was a gas wall heater, and a fridge. 

I have tenants who just moved into my condo and are requesting compensation for: (1) repainting (I had to repaint a wall in a different color than they originally saw when I took down my speakers); (2) loud bathroom fans in each bathroom; (3) Ceiling fans that are outdated but functional; (4) wall wiring so that their t.v. does not reveal the wires; (5) fridge filter which admittedly was old and they noted that my flooring has a soft spot but did not request replacement (yet!).
