Washer/Dryer in Townhome Rental

[Luke Andrew]

My wife and I are moving and are going to be renting our current home, it is a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath townhome.

I was looking to get suggestions from some more experience landlords on whether or not to leave our washer/dryer for our tennants.

The home we have recently purchased does not have a washer/dryer so we would need to purchase a new one if we left our current ones in our rental (they are only about 2.5 years old).

Thanks!

@Luke Andrew - washer and dryer are not included. Show it with yours in place and offer to rent a washer and dryer to them for $30 per month for the set. Buy a used set off Craig's list for $200. Some will go buy their own which is no problem but some will rent and after about 7 months the set is paid for and the rest is gravy.

When I started out, this meant the difference between paying the mortgage and not. I didn't have BP then so didn't know about the 2% rule or the 50% rule or even the 1% rule.
