Its the stove the city cracks down on, as you can work around this by installing a wet bar which can include a sink and fridge,does not include a stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher, a garbage disposal, or a gas line.With the second kitchen your house would act more like a duplex with two units rather than a house with roommates, in practice the pwnership experience is pretty different when you have a separate entrance and separate dwelling units.

Now if I could get my teenagers to read RDPD (like Dawn's husband!)

Wow, all appliances with dishwasher and W/D for 1500/mo, lol. i can’t even get an apartment that low, not a 1-bed in a decent neighborhood.On a rental, maybe just dishwasher, stove, and fridge.

And great advice, Dawn A.!

It also needs a microwave and a dishwasher, which I can upgrade to stainless once I can find a deal on them.

I was around 16 when I first calculated my net worth.I shoveled snow (I actually looked forward to a big storm and was up at the crack of dawn with a shovel on my shoulder and wasn't back home until dark), cut grass, raked leaves, etc.). 

The house is appraised for just under 170k, but my fiancé and I determined that it needs about 25k in repairs for a new oven, new flooring for the kitchen and living room, a new tub and toilet, and a dishwasher.

Sometimes for major issues like replace dishwasher, garbage disposal, etc I meet them there with the replacement items.

Buy a dishwasher, hire a landscaper or housekeeper and spend more time with the people you love or doing the things you enjoy.
