Buying + Installing Appliances From Out-Of-State

[Algerson Andre]

Hello

I recently started self managing my investment property in Buffalo, NY from out of state. I am wondering how folks have dealt with needing to purchase new appliances if/when one has gone bad during a tenants lease? Since I lived in the area, I know of good discount stores and such where I could get a good deal on an appliance (they are very local and don't have websites). Outside of paying for everything associated with a new appliance (i.e., delivery, install of new appliance, haul away of old appliance), how have you approached replacing an appliance if you are not physically close to the property? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
