Appliances for B-/C+ property

[Matt Alvino]

Hey all,

Just closed on my first deal and want to replace the fridge and stove in a vacant unit. The fridge is especially beat up and currently standard white. This building is probably a low B or high C grade. So I don't want to overbuy, however, I do want to get rents up and justify that as well. 

My question to you all, what would you go with?

• White again due to its affordability and the class of property?
• Stainless steel due to it being in demand (at least I think it is)? 
• Slate due to it being like stainless, but not as hard to keep clean?

Thank you

Hey @Matt Alvino, welcome to the BP community!

Personally, I would do my best to find an affordable ss fridge. Slate is fine too - really anything but white. If you can't find anything affordable at local appliance warehouses, craigslist or estate sales, then maybe go with white. Make sure it's still one of the reliable name brands like Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, etc.

Hope this helps a bit and please, feel free to reach out anytime if you have other questions or just want to chat!
