Dishwasher or More Cabinet Space?

[John Jack R.]

Okay so, we are rehabbing an almost twelve hundred square foot 4 bedroom, two bath house in North Las Vegas.

Picked it up short sale for $79,000, the ARV is around $120,000 to $130,000. If you want to check it out, the address is 1124 Stone River Drive, Las Vegas NV 89030.

These kinds of houses are pretty popular because of the price range, and are great for FHA or first time buyers, or in fact anybody. As usual we are doing the full meal deal. New bathrooms, new kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, wood laminate flooring throughout. Its is going to look brand new inside and out!

Challenge! Small kitchen (definitely not by NYC standards), but here is the rub;

Dishwasher or More Cabinet space? 

It is your typical "U" shaped layout, kitchen sink and cabinets on the right leg of the "U", stove & microwave at the head of the "U", and refrigerator and more cabinets on the left leg of the "U".

We have a JV partner on the project who is awesome. She says "No Dishwasher" more cabinet space, I say "Get the Dishwasher in there". We are putting in stainless steel appliances. It's really not a dollar & cents issue, because a good dishwasher is affordable.

So I said, "let's put it on BP and let other flippers decide". 

So what is your opinion?
