Replace NEW white appliances with stainless steel?
Hi, I'm running numbers for the property I'm considering for rental and one crazy thought I have is that they put in new typical-looking white kitchen appliances - fridge, stove, dishwasher. I'm considering replacing them to stainless steel to potentially attract more renters and get better rent.
The cost would be ~$1000-1500 after selling the existing appliances. Not sure if it's worth it. On the other hand, I could use this money on something else that increases the house value.
The market is in Redwood City - SF Bay Area. It's a 3/2 that should rent around $4200, close to FB, Google, Stanford, downtown. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
