Granite countertops in your rentals: yea or nay?

[Lyall Storandt]

Just curious what everyone's take is.

Is it worth it to spend a little bit more to have granite countertops installed in the kitchens of your rental houses? Will it help you secure a tenant faster? Can you charge a premium rent if the comps. don't have it? Is it more durable over the long-run than the alternatives?

What about the bathrooms?

Would love to hear your opinions on the above questions; feel free to add more to the discussion.
