switch the refrigerator to the other side, put a 9" cabinet between the stove and the frig and the dishwasher where the frig is now. this side will be 6" shorter, you could put a 42" sink base or just leave it short.

I have been depreciating the refrigerator, gas range, carpeting and tile flooring improvements separately from the house as they were improvements added several years after the purchase of the house.

I just picked up 2 stoves, a dishwasher and a refrigerator all for about $400-450 a piece over at Lowes and had next day delivery.

(We passed the annual inspection for her house about 2 months ago, it's a superb property with absolutely nothing wrong with it, the mice simply prefer to move indoors when the weather turns cold)As a policy we have placed bait-blocks for tenants behind the fridge/stove and in the basement for free, we even place them annually as part of our Fall Inspection where we check the home and most importantly the furnace.Bet you can't guess that when we didn't show up at her house on Saturday or Sunday she kept up the frantic voicemails to our company system...and the best part is when we showed up with bait blocks on Monday (our next scheduled work day for the crew AND WAAAAYYYY ahead of the 14 day timeline we allow for non-emergency repairs) the tenant refused bait blocks in the home since she has children in the home (who access the back of the refrigerator and stove I guess, no basement in this house).I'd like to assemble a list of what LaPlante does NOT handle, so we can direct tenants to that section when they ring our phones...

That scumbag stole the refrigerator and new washer. 

Still, your refrigerator isn't going to cost $750.

The issue with the kids is, while YOU may have a dream of managing properties, and filing taxes on rental properties and owning 20 or 30 refrigerators and negotiating contracts, that might not be the childrens' dreams.

I ripped out all of my washer/dryers on renovation and went with coin-op in a common area- happy with my decision though.Stainless steel kitchen set- stove, over stove microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher.

Discovered that in the 3 months in the house they broke the glass out of the oven door, left a puddle of shrimp juice in the refrigerator, discovered what trash they didn't burn in the back yard they threw over the fence, and spray painted our bird baths red (left the cans in the yard).

Just turn the AC off dumbasses.We've had complaints in the past, mainly in the summer, so you wander over to check the house and find it as cold, if not colder than the refrigerator.
