Stainless Steel Appliances?

[Jon S.]

Stainless steel appliances? Newly renovated triplex. I have dark walnut porcelain tile floors, expresso cabinets, pendant lights, light granite counters, white walls. A couple people have offered their opinion that I should spend the extra $$ to get stainless steel appliances because of my color scheme. I am trying to get top of the market rent for these newly renovated triplex units that are 2/1. However, I've heard that SS is too hard to keep clean and too easy to scratch and dent, that tenants don't take care of them. Normally I would save money by buying used appliances in nice condition, not new SS appliances. Thoughts?

Your properties sound very nice and the ss would probably compliment the style very well.  Shop around for pricing and even package deals as I've found many times you will not spend much more to purchase ss but the look is very much worth it to prospective tenants! 

Good luck
