Require tenants have their own appliances?

[Cody Barrett]

Hello!

I have read a few posts about having your tenant have their own appliances to increase the chances of a solid long lasting tenant.  More focus would be put into making the rooms look very nice, clean, welcoming, warm etc... How do you investors feel about that? Or do you have higher returns for including appliances?

Thanks everyone,

@Cody Barrett I think that depends a lot on the state and region.  In Illinois, almost no tenants have their own appliances.  Some do but they are usually very picky/clean/particular.  I have not had a case yet where tenants wanted to use their own appliances and I have mainly B, B+ homes
