Appliances for a rental
I just REFI my house and want to rehab my Kitchen/Bathroom. The long term goal is to turn into a rental down the road. So I'm just rehabbing it into a high end rental and I'll be staying here next two years until I get my degree. Anyways to the question, appreciate anyone could help.
As for stoves should I get a coil or glass top but with steam clean? I read it's better to just get the coil but the flat tops will be more marketable. I read self cleans are a fire hazard and break down more easily? I want to take advantage of the President day sales.
As for the bathroom, I'm debating on getting a Jacuzzi Tub for personal use for couple of years but could add value of charging for rent. I could always uninstall the motor and make it a regular tub.

Instead of tile get this Utile for low maintenance so it can look nicer than the boring inserts.

A coil stove is certainly easier to clean and has lower maintenance costs since you can just change out the pans and coils as needed... but it looks out of place in a high end rental. Prior to owning my home I lived in a number of apartments at different price points and not one of the high end ones had a coil stove.
I'd steer clear of a jacuzzi tub. They have a tendency to get really nasty if not used regularly and would be more trouble than its worth in a rental I would think.
