Should I Provide a Washer and Dryer at My Rental?
My duplex has washer/dryer hookups in both of the basements. I currently do not have these in either unit (I am living in one side). Should I be looking to purchase a washer/dryer for the other unit and have it installed? Or should I have tenants use a laundromat instead? I am worried that tenants will often break these appliances, but I know that they are good selling points with your rental due to their convenience. Thoughts?

I'd install a used washer and dryer. Check FB market place. They are numerous. Same goes for dishwashers. YES appliances break but think about the ROI. You'll command $60 or more per month by having them. 60*12= $720 per year.
Fat chance you're spending >$720 on replacements for a rental but that's just my opinion.
