I am on my first rehab and bought all SS appliance (Kenmore), including stackable washer and dryer (side by side refrigerator with ice and water dispenser) from Sears for 3300/- Just before they came with the labor day sale.

One evening, he informed me that the water dispenser on the refrigerator stopped working.

We use flow arrestor lines on washing machines and dishwashers and inspect them annually; we do not use refrigerators with water dispensers or ice makers (they are less energy efficient anyway) and we install trays and floor drains under appliances and hot water tanks whenever possible.

Do not dispense money for uncompleted work, no matter what the sob story is.  

Hi Bryan,While I'm not the most qualified person to dispense any advice, I do own a number of apartment buildings, including a 12 unit, and I often wonder just like you where it's best to spend money to attract good residents.

A bill that collects taxes for the first five years before dispensing benefits really isn't deficit neutral either.

They can ask for special dispensation from it from my mom (who is the executor) so they can put a down payment on a reasonable house, pay down student loans, etc, but that way they can't blow it on a new car every year.My dad's is set up where he is leaving gifts to certain people in his life, $1,000 for his barber, a former property manager, that sort of thing, so friends and acquaintances can have a nice memory of him.

Those successful enough to dispense this type of advice are likely independently wealthy and don't need to work on commission or sell their time for money.  

This is why people like me don't respond to certain queries - those who don't treat this as a business have broken fundamentals, while those who do (and have common sense) are worth talking to.I sometimes participate on here (this forum) when I have leisure time and get tired of reading poor advice (of which there is plenty) from inexperienced people dispensing their wisdom (especially questions about LLCs and land trusts) or gurus screwing others over (I was instrumental - as documented on here by the victim - in their recovery of tens of thousands of dollars).  

In my own home - when I purchased it it came with 12 year old refrigerator that had a water dispenser.
