Appliances

[Jesse Kindra]

Hi BP Community,

I'm working on rehabbing a property I just purchased and I am trying to decide what to do about appliances. The property was built in '74, and is in a solid blue collar neighborhood south of Seattle. It's 4 bedrooms and should rent for $1900+. The city is Federal Way (98023) and it is in the Twin Lakes neighborhood. The issue: I have a 1974 fridge that seems like its going to give out soon (White color); a dishwasher that I would prefer to replace because it looks about 20 years old and would have concerns about how much life is left (Black color); and a newer electric range and hood (White color). What would you all do in relation to colors? Get a new fridge and dishwasher that is black (and have mismatched with range/hood) or buy all white to match? I'm leaning to all white to avoid mismatch but I just don't like the idea of all white as rentals I've seen are black or stainless steel (have seen some white so could be okay). What do all think? Thanks.
