Of course, the tenant didn't want to pay for them, but lost in court. 3) Use this same language for ALL appliances: stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer, window ac, etc.

Affordability is about 1:3So yeah on the surface it looks like a big difference, but there's a lot of things not controlled for in the stats- There were a crazy amount of houses built in the years just after the war, so housing stock was easy to come by everywhere;- Homes had nowhere near the kind of features they have now - 2 car garages, dishwashers, OTC microwaves, W/D hookups, high efficiency windows, central heat & air conditioning, etc - all those doodads and niceties drive up the cost of housing;- Fewer mortgages were 30 year, so homeowners had to pay (relatively) higher monthly payments;- Rentals were almost exclusively apartments, so there was more supply for buyers;ETCI think these things tend to be more stories that make for good press but aren't really that grounded in reality overall.

@Dawn MurrayI recommend you seek your own attorney in this as well - typically in these situations there is very little to go around but whoever gets the first lawsuit and judgment wins.

So yeah, worth emphasizing more for them to do nothing at all aside from start the dishwasher.

Of course I can think of Dawn Anastasi and Chris Clothier with a few more but they run a business uncovering the diamond properties looking through many duds.

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

@Dawn Anastasi We have bought all over the midwest based on what we thought was a good deal.Milwaukee was an REO purchase rather then a note purchase, the hedge fund that held the note wound up completing the FC before they resold the note and they wanted to unload the property, the home is on 21st street.

Make sure you leave room for an oversized refrigerator space and a dishwasher.

It may be a difficult game to get into in 20 years, yet many will find a way and the cycle will continue, so long as the US is still standing.Ultimately, none of us has a crystal ball, we can only look at history.Conversations like these have been going on since the dawn of man and will continue. 

They are there to help you as you have requested, but it is still your business and you yourself are ultimately accountable for its success or failureLetting your property manager own the property listing on Airbnb is like a head chef letting the dishwasher set the menu at a fancy restaurant.
