No screen/storm doors, no dishwashers, no garbage disposals, no ice makers in refrigerators, no ceiling fans.Gail

All it takes is one person venting about not having a smart-linked digital refrigerator to go from helpful comments to residents trash talking the property and/or each other. 

Could also be a cause of utility disruption for service, make sure the electric and gas and will be OK because otherwise refrigerated food will be an issue you may have to cover also.As long as red Cross is covering housing for interim. you won't have to pay hotel costs.And as mentioned earlier check your insurance, call your agent so he knows you might have a claim, you may have damages that have not yet been apparent, and could have a loss rent cause,, just depends on your deductible.. 

@Meghan McCallum that coverage for spoilage of food in the freezer/refrigerator due to a power outage is included in our Allstate policies in Illinois without a special rider, the caveat is that the deductible must be satisfied first before insurance pays so make sure your tenants don't pick the highest possible deductible to lower their monthly payment.

If I replace the updright microwave, oven, and refrigerator to the stainless ones, would I be able to increase the rent from $1,900 a month to $ 2,100?

Odds are you won't be 100% vacant (like will happen with an SFR if there's turnover) for a month and 100% of your refrigerators won't break in a given month.

Quick question, Im about to rent out my Primary residence and it has a bar in the basement in which I have a mini refrigerator and wine cooler, I also have a microwave but plan on taking that out.

On a side note, I wasn't aware they even made refrigerators without water dispensers, except for the super cheap models with the ice box on top.

Hi BP Community,Local area ATL investor here and I'm currently in the market for major appliances; refrigerators, dishwashers etc., but also not looking to buy off the shelf from the local big box stores.
