The dishwasher steam is affecting the formica over it.These tenants pay about $25-$100 below market rent for a fully renovated house (the roof was the only thing not new, and now it is also new).

Stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer.

Rotting window frames, unsafe electrical issues, a tub and sink that didn’t drain properly, a promised dishwasher that turned out to be broken and unusable, a driveway with tons of pot holes so deep that they could have easily damaged cars, and much, much more.

That information would be worth its weight in gold :-)@Dawn Anastasi I have the same investment strategy as you!

There's nothing like that feeling when all the rents are in for the month, though.Related to Dawn A.'

I have a dozen times washer/dryer/fridge/dishwasher/microwave/garbage disposals.

I've had the same appliances in my home (except the dishwasher) for 15 years (and they still look like new and work fine).
