A couple furnishing questions
I'm picking out the furnishings of my first rental and I've received some mixed feedback from other investors on a few items. I'd love to hear more inputs from others here:
Property will rent for ~$1100-$1200/mo in an A-area. Demographic is working middle-class families.
Two bathrooms. One in the hallway and one in the Master.
The hallway bath isn't terribly big -- maybe 45-55 Sq Ft.
I've heard mixed feedback on whether to use a pedestal sink (to save space) or to use a vanity that has additional storage below the basin. I see merits for both and would be curious to hear what other experienced landlords think would do better from a renter's appeal?
Would you tile the shower or use an insert/kit? The cost difference is negligible for me and I see benefits to both. On one hand, the tiling is more visually appealing, but it might be more vulnerable to dirt grime.
