2100SF SFH CONVERTING TO A DUPLEX

[Iqwe Haywood]

I'm going to do my best to give the BP community my short version. I'm not a short version kinda guy, but here goes my best. This will be a complete gut rehab. Just contracted a 2100 sq ft SFH right outside Charlotte, North Carolina in a smaller low income town called Statesville. I will be turning it into a separate metered duplex. So I have questions. Many I've figured out due to my own research, experience, networking & due diligences. But some are speculative... In an effort to be short yet sweet I'll only post 1 @ a time... Question 1: I want my kitchen to be a draw. Yes it is a Duplex, yes it's in a blue collar, low income, yet growing area. But I believe in Kitchens, baths & open clean floor plans. With that said here's my question. I've been researching Kitchen appliance packages. How do you determine Electric VS Gas burner/stove for a rental? I found some appliance packages (dishwasher, fridge & freezer, microwave & 4 range stove w/ oven) that are about $1700 x 2 (Duplex) = $3400... Is that reasonable? BUT HOW DO I DETERMINE GAS VS ELECTRIC??? Stainless steel vs black vs white, etc. Help BP! ☺️
