They've assigned themselves fridge and freezer and pantry space and have worked out a system for the shared expenses for things like dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper.  

You are going to learn quickly that having a fridge with a water dispenser is going to be a royal pain.

The master bath had a small leak in the shower which was fixed, but not professionally and I would like to avoid any significant damage due to water coming from my upstairs bathroom.My thought is obviously get the bathroom up to speed, however I am back and forth with the AC and fridge.

pickup trucks and the ability to move a fridge at 10pm at night are real estate friends to keep around :)

I'm referring to things like appliances which are in the property like a fridge, stove, washer, dryer, etc.

The seller back peddled and wanted $2000.00 but I held firm on my offer for $1500 and requested that she leave the fridge and the A/C unit.

I have ended up making a cleaning/set up checklists for the properties (after saying for months that I needed to do it) since there are little things that they forget to do like cleaning out the soap dish, putting bottles of water in the fridge, or putting the cake of soap in the shower, etc.

Then we take over management: roaches, back porch falling off, dryer vent duct not even hooked up, fridge broken, etc.

Did you guys find it s strange that they dont have a fridge or stove for the tenants? 

Thanks. laminate, you want to go with a minimum of AC4 and pad under (some have pad attached) for sound and thermalvinyl, min 3mm thickness. if manufacturer doesn't say otherwise, use pad here tookeep extra just for the case of tenants dragging fridge across all house...you being in snow territory, i would tile the entrances.check your competition and just go a bit extra for the wow factor.you want tenants to look for your rentals, not competition'sand screen for the best
