Triplex Laundry Room -- Is it really worth it?

[Brian M.]

I just purchased a triplex in Phoenix, AZ and was recommended to install a laundry room on the property.  I received a quote to construct a laundry room and the total bid was for approximately $8600.  I'm not sure if it's really worth it, but wanted to get your thoughts?  I was told that this will help raise rents to be more competitive vs. comps in the area.  Anybody have any experience with adding a laundry room and is there any hidden costs / watch outs to be aware of?
