Old washing machine finally starting to go out on my tenant

[Justin Rea]

Tenant just contacted me letting me know the washing machine is making loud noises. It’s an old washing machine and of course I was expecting this to happen someday. rental property is in Richmond Virginia and I now live in Tallahassee Florida.

This being my first rental property before I go off and buy a washing machine online I’d like to see what you recommend my plan of action could be? I think I know what I need to do but I do not know the recommended manufacturer, model, rental property Washer....if there is one?

Note: The dryer is very old as well so I should keep that in mind. I’m a veteran so potential discount on equipment is nice. Definitely enjoy earning my current Chase Credit card points. Christmas is coming up so potential deal to maybe go ahead and get both washer and dryer. The rental property income will of course be used and tracked for this purchase for tax purposes.

Thank you.
