You Pick! Existing White or New Stainless Steel?
I have a nice single family 3/2 rental house that I bought last year. It rents for $1450 and is in the top 75% of the micro neighborhood, also an area where rents have been increasing 10% a year lately. Time to buy them a new dishwasher. Of course I go to the store and want to spend an extra $150 for the sexy stainless steel model. I think that's a deal, and that the tenant will enjoy it and stay a long time. Or future tenants will be sold on the nice stainless steel. The brand new fridge is white and the old range is black/white/beige. There is no white microwave (as pictured below). I know it's just a rental and that I should go with the matching white. But the fancypants in me wants to spend $100 for new stainless steel. BP - I can't make a decision alone and I need your wisdom. Please tell me what you think. (I bet everyone will say white, but I needed to ask anyway).
