Things we are debating: firepit, beverage fridge vs. full size in the basement game area, and what should be put in the game area. 

When you open the fridge and think of ramen noodles and ketchup as a food group..lol you now you are roughing it. 

-Check what other houses are listed for rent in area (guess that this house could rent for $1200 with updates) ($0.68/sqft)-Have realtor pull sales/rental comps ($/sqft is lower than majority of homes in area - $56/ compared to average $70/) (range: $44/ - $84/)-Rental Analysis with actual taxes, estimated insurance, etc – rent based on average in area -$1250 ($0.75/sqft – need at least $0.70/sqft for deal based on analysis) (range: $0.68/ - $0.85/)-Look at rented houses on high end / low end to see what price pays for (granite, fridge included, new paint, etc)My house was listed at $100k.

Mike Bicho My first flip I included all appliances (fridge, microwave, dishwasher , range)Second flip - I excluded the fridge.

In our student houses, we often add a second kitchette in the basement (fridge, sink, cupboards), but omit the stove.Now, if you intend to have anyone but family stay in the accessory apartment, you'll be in a quandary without a functional kitchen.

Of course, they may have a dozen of expensive caviar or vintage wines that would go bad quickly.Now if the fridge is broken, I am thinking being in South Florida, if it happens on a Wednesday evening, I may not be able to call in an appliance man until Thursday. 

Fridge, $100. 

I have had some luck with ge and ken more fridges, but again I know brands like ken more use other manufacturers.

I went to the house and even though the fridge was only 3 years old, I told her i would swap out the fridge mainly to keep her happy.Being busy, I told her I would be there with the new fridge but was unable to make it. 

For microwaves or fridges that pretty much has to be damage.
