dishwasher or no dishwasher?

[Randy Barnard]

Team bigger pockets, I need advice from experienced buy and hold investors:  to dishwasher or not to dishwasher, that is the question!

I’ve heard that it can be a love affair like Romeo  and Juliet, increasing rents by 10%, paying for itself in less than a year and improving tenants longevity.

I’ve also heard that if you think that something is rotten in the state of Denmark that it is usually the dishwashers stench from misuse by tenants.  Horror stories of leaking water leading to skyrocketing water bills soon follow.  

So Team Bigger Pockets, help me out!
