I'm not even sure how "gun control" is anti-landlord, but I'm going to tell you that you are on thin ice here as you have been warned about political postings before. 

If this were my unit I would probably opt for a stainless refrigerator with no ice maker, and all stainless appliances, and maybe a dishwasher if I thought I could get more rent for it.

As my Dad always said, 'There is no eating ice cream in hell- get outta there...

Pretty please with icing on top?

We also have an ice machine in a beach market to make sure the cooler is always ready.  

Plus its a non stop location for tourism Summer Camping, White Water Rafting, Rock climbing, 4 Wheeler/ATV, Hunting, Fishing.Winter - Ski, Snowboard, Tube, Ice Fishing, Hunting, Winter Breaks away from the Heat etc.

With the cash flow play you need to buy low, negotiate hard on price, expect no appreciation and get a very healthy cash flow, nothing marginal,  And expect when you sell to make little to no appreciation, then any gains are icing on the cake.

Some are glorified fee takers and any cash flow or equity return on the property is icing on the cake.I like it more when the fee is just a small component of the deal and the syndicator wins more when their passive investors do on the back end.

At that point tenant friendly laws and a long eviction process will just be icing on the cake.
