Units with washer and dryer have less water usage than those without. 

I’m moving out of the house soon and will be living rent-free with my wife at my parents' place in the Bay Area due to some recent life changes.Here’s a breakdown of my situation:Location: Sacramento, CA (4 bed, 2 bath, recently renovated)Current mortgage payment: $3,940/month (including escrow)Mortgage balance: $475,000Current home value: $515,000 - $535,000 (based on comps)Rental estimate: Property management companies are quoting $2,600/month (with fridge/washer/dryer included), but some websites suggest it could go for up to $3,000/month.Planned budget:$540/month for capital expenditures and maintenance$100/month for lawn careTenant to cover utilities (gas, electricity, water)7.5% vacancy rateWe bought the house thinking it would be our forever home, but with our current situation, I’m trying to figure out the best long-term plan.

We have a rental property and did not provide a washer or dryer. 

Her attempts to become a lawyer in moments like this are hair raising stupid.

We did get negotiate money from them to help with roof repair, but now know they were not honest on their disclosure.Our inspector missed  code violations, HVAC issues, pipes that had been worked on and issues hidden that had occurred while sellers lived in the house, signs of drainage and water damage inside the house that had been painted over, completely blocked dryer vent...and we are finding more daily.We have had the house looked at by a structural engineer and HVAC techs  that has told us we need thousands (likely tens of thousands) of dollars worth of repairs to make this property able to rent and come up to code for rental.

Appliances and fixtures were old and tired.Basically, the core bones of the property were good, but there were a lot of things that seemed ripe for easy improvement.The location was great, right next to the town’s primary commercial district, with a grocery store 100 yards away, coffee shop/bakery, Post Office, drugstore, hardware store, hair and nail salons, barber shop, dentist, bank, a half dozen restaurants, and a variety of other shops and services.

Don't have to be on the deed even to declare it your homestead.It may be splitting hairs, and I may have been unclear in my initial post, but I believe homestead laws are designed in part to protect non-title holding spouses, so if the new wife moves into her husband's house he cannot sell or mortgage without the wife's consent nor can it be forced to be sold to pay involuntary creditors (as opposed to voluntary creditors such as mtg/DOT lenders). 

how you believe those promises re the question.Your argument and reasoning is quite poor, mainly because it relies on splitting hairs and it is up to you, Carlos Ptriawan, which hair to split.

If oven, washer, dryer go out, I would pay them some money for during the week for food to eat out or laundromat, and then fix on the weekend.As you said you're in the learning phase.

For me it’s really not about splitting hairs over $10-$20 a month..I just want things to run smoothly at this point.
