In my first renovation and wanted an opinion

[Walmsley Gedeon]

Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask you guys do you use stainless steel appliances in a c-class neighborhood rentals? My contractor is urging me to go with black appliances which was my original choice but I want to attain a certain price point so I figured the better the rental looks the better the chance. I've been told not to do stainless steel because of the high possibility of damage to more expensive appliances. I'm not sure I totally agree with the concept but it's not my neighborhood. I almost feel inclined to go with what the natives suggest. Had anyone done this in a c-class neighborhood and was confronted with horrific situations after the fact, extreme damage, mishandling of the appliances or even theft? I just wanted some investors and property manners take on the topic. I'm in Irvington, NJ if that helps. Thanks BP Family.
