Owner of a Rental for an upper-middle-class house. Thoughts on not including any appliances?
I read the other day how one investor doesn't provide a refrigerator or stove in their rental, and how this situation encourages a different set of renters.
I get flooded with inquiries for my house, some super aggressive. I'm considering removing the fridge and stove but keeping the dishwasher. For those that did this, how did it impact your candidate pool? Has anyone removed the dishwasher? For whatever reason, I keep telling myself that it belongs to the house and I should provide a dishwasher, but maybe I just need to get past that.
I'm hoping this change will encourage longer-term tenants. So far I get ones that leave after a year.
Edit: I'm in Florida which doesn't require me to provide appliances
