Need Advice: First property has washer/dryer in separate rooms.
Just bought my first buy and hold investment and am now in the process of fixing it up and getting it ready to rent. The only thing I really don't have an answer for is that the washer is in the kitchen and the dryer just outside the kitchen door in the garage. I understand this is how things were done back in the day but it's not exactly ideal for families now. It's a 1,100sqft, 3 bedroom 1.5 bath so not much space to install a utility room. Is there something I should do relocate them or just leave it like it is?
Would appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!

Although inconvenient, I don't believe it will be a deal-breaker for many potential tenants. They are likely going to be more concerned about the location of the property, the cost to rent it, whether it is pet-friendly, etc.
That being said, if you have the height for a stackable combo or can arrange them side by side, it wouldn't be too much electrical work to bring the dryer into the kitchen.
