Keep wash and dryer for tenants?

[Andrew Perillo]

Hey all,

I just purchased another property and the seller left a perfectly good washer and dryer. I am torn between whether or not I should leave for tenants or sell them. Here is my thoughts on both:

1.) Leave for tenants

- If I leave for tenants I would note it in the lease that these are the tenants responsibility and once broken I will not be responsible for fixing and/or replacing. In terms of increased ability to rent or charge more for rent; I do not believe this will be an issue with this property. I know I will be getting a comfortable rent and this property will be rehabbed, making it rent quickly. I do not think a washer and dryer will make or break this.

2.) Sell washer and dryer

- This is what I am leaning towards. Reason being, is that it is one less thing for me to deal with. If they break and will not be repaired, I will have to haul them out and find a way to dispose of them. It just seems like a headache for someone who has multiple properties on top of a full time job.

What has everyone else experienced? Any input or direction to help me make my decision is always greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
