If you do, you have to factorin some of the issues with how the refrigerant changemight affect ongoing maintenance costs.The trick is that the old refrigerant is no longer made in the same quantities (or maybe at all) and to chargethe old units is going to cost you a ton should someone snip it and the freon leak out.Also, I'm not sure how two unit systems work.

I replaced a water heater, washer, refrigerator all in the first few months.

For things like a refrigerator I would have that in the lease as something provided without warranty as there are factors (i.e. used in the garage with extreme heat or cold, max temp setting usage, etc.) outside your control that can cause problems.I also rely on good trades (have some in DFW) that won't take me to the cleaners on repairs.

Depends on a couple things, is there a 36 inch refrigerator, space for a range and a dishwasher etc.

Or, as it took me a while to convince my daughter, if your priority is really owning a home, deal with the roommate, learn to hide your drinks in your room, stop buying so much refrigerator food and keep staples in your room, get a lock for your own bedroom door, and each month you deposit a few hundred dollars by splitting expenses with a roommate (cable is $60 each, not $120; power is $40/month, not $80, etc.), congratulate yourself on one month closer to your goal.

A smidge of gardening at the transition to winter; a call to a repair company for a refrigerator leak; and a trip to the hardware store for furnace filters.I listen to real estate and financial podcasts, instead of listening to music.

@Paul SandhuWe discard everything except non refrigerated condiments (salt, pepper etc).

This is a duplex property, located in Kingsport TN. unit A is a 2 bed, 2 bath, freshly painted new flooring, it comes with a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, over head microwave.

For example, some areas it is common to include a refrigerator.

While I agree some of this can be reduced but still there are daily items like refrigerator is leaking.
