It depends on the demographic of your tenant as well.Electric is preferred for landlord over gas stoves due to liability and tenant trying to heat the place with the oven in certain cases.

Spend a day shampooing a soiled carpet and scrubbing out a stove or shower. 

The fact that in the unit you’re buying the toilets flush and the stove gets hot is wonderful.  

I had to replace 4 refrigerators, 2 stoves, repaint 3 units, redo flooring in 1 unit, and on top of that had to start a eviction the first week I bought the property.  

If you're just doing a wet bar (aka no stove, just a sink, microwave, fridge and hot plate) you can get an over the counter, or STFI (subject to field inspection) permit in under a week. 

Chicken nuggets left in the stove, rotten food in the fridge and just generalized yuk.But overall, I was pretty lucky.  

Nope, don't replace the stove.

For instance, recently I had a 11 service calls for an old stove I had in one of my homes.  

We were trying to negotiate with the seller to remove the tenants and remove the stove and cap the gas line, but he is not willing to do this unless it becomes absolutely necessary to pass appraisal.My questions are:1.

Not having a dishwasher these days is like not having indoor plumbing.Based on your picture, it would look like hell anyway AND you'd have to find an 18" washer to fit in the space, unless you were pulling the cabinet by the stove too.
