As a landlord.. Provide the appliances?

[Stuart Parker]

Currently, I am looking to buy my first investment property. This would be several states away from me, so I realistically would not be visiting but once a year, if that. Is it 'normal' or 'expected' for the landlord to provide appliances?

I see it potentially as a liability if you do. If your renters trash it, it's up to you buy a new one, etc.
