New Lg Complex: Wall Mount TV included or dumb idea?
I am developing a new 168 unit market rate complex in south Alabama. Including a washer and dryer in each unit is becoming a no-brainer since the rent premium is a great ROI and it reduces significant damage to each unit during turnover.
This being said, I consider myself very AV savvy. Wouldn't a wall mounted TV included in each unit seem like a great marketing tool as well as potential ROI? Flat screen TV's are VERY affordable these days (less than 55 inches for only a few hundred bucks), they allow for MUCH more living space by opening up the room, and nearly everyone wants or has one. Since so many people have one (just like a washer/dryer) why wouldnt I consider saving my walls by including a wall mounted TV or at least a wall mount already installed?
Would a tenant pay $15-20 more per month for this convenience? I'm assuming a bigger deposit, too?
This is my first post... so please, don't hold back your great ideas or reasons why this is a disaster or good idea! Thanks!
