New appliances including refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer, dryer, and hot water tank.

Just remove the stove & you can rent it out just like you would a basement, the stove which is what separates an adu from an basement apartment is most cases, has less effect on rent than a lot of people think imo.

They spent a couple hours just cleaning out the stove.

Even when I get guests only staying two days, I show them the dishes, the pots/pans, the counter-top appliances, cooking utensils and how to operate the stove/oven.

We installed granite throughout (kitchen/baths), laminate flooring in common areas, canister lights, new stainless steel appliances (range/dw/stove), carpet in bedrooms, new cabinets, new 2" blinds, canister lighting, etc.

The thing I'm considering now is, yeah it's a better rent, but repairing the roof, putting in new carpet every few years, painting, replacing a stove, all those things cost the same for a $60,000 house as a $200,000 house, but it's going to hurt a whole lot more on the bottom line.

Also your stove will be funny-lookin' as it'll be too high.To put it in another way - dishwashers are cabinet height.

It goes very fast.These are good to use behind stoves (usually takes just four of these to cover this area); makes it easier to clean off any grease/food tenants can splash up from cooking.I've never used the stick tiles yet so I don't know how well they would last around the heat of a range.Gail

I've had tenants who had no idea how to clean the outdoor laundry dryer vent or how to lift up and clean the stove top.Plan for the worst case.

Besides new flooring we also do 2 tone paint with crown, new laminate counters in bath and kitchen and if needed, new stove and toilet so we are spending quite a bit for each rehab.
