Regretted going with formica but added white subway tile backsplash & vinyl flooring ($200), scratch & dent fridge ($350), stove ($275), (very dented but repairable) over stove microwave $25 & a dishwasher $125.

Rented with washer, dryer & fridge to compete with most apartments in the area.

Then you can fit that craigslist fridge in the bed of the truck.

Fridges stay away from ice makers and water dispensers.

As the old white fridge breaks, change to stainless. 

I checked the lease and found that only the stove and fridge were included in the lease.

I make sure oven and fridge are cleaned up good and that's about it.As for personal belongings, anything real valuable like jewelry or something, we either take with us or stash it somewhere in the garage or something. 

If you don’t like to gamble buy the 5 year extended warranty for $100 ($20 year is another $2/mo, now you need to charge $4/mo extra to provide washer/dryer.)I’ve had more problems with refrigerators than laundry but I certainly wouldn’t try to rent out a home with out a fridge.

I kept insisting the fridge needing replacement.

Your tenant still had heat, running water, electricity, a functional fridge and stove, a roof over their heads, etc.
