Microwave or no microwave
I am renovating a 4 plex that does not have a dedicated circuit for a microwave. It's going to cost me about $200 per unit to put one it plus the cost of the microwave.
I am trying to determine the ROI of the additional cost. These will be lower income rentals that I will advertise to Section 8 tenants.
Is the $400 per unit cost justified? Is it a matter of renter unit potential attractiveness and/or additional rental income?
