@Kathie Mata   appliance insurance may work in some places, in my area is quite slow to show up.   

-Make sure your kitchen appliance package matches up with price point.

Stainless steel appliances, cleaning service every other week and I am johnny on the spot with repairs.As a result my vacancies are not that bad even with a model designed to be somewhat transitory. 

But I also don’t know of any appliance shop with no return policy.

With that said I am looking to do minimal work to renovate the home such as painting and adding new appliances.

The house needed significant updates, so we tackled the kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances.

Both bathrooms need a complete remodel as well as the kitchen, the ceiling in 2 of the bed rooms are bowed (previous roof leak that was fixed) so new ceiling drywall, appliances, flooring, and paint throughout.

Not that I don’t enjoy dealing with tenants, maintenance, lawn care, Home Depot and Lowe’s trips and tenant change overs (I recently put new carpets, kitchen floor, appliances, vanity and mirror in the bathroom and fresh paint in my upstairs unit).

Walkthroughs are never detailed enough to be final (ie often tenants have lower disconnected and discover broken appliances later.) 

But it gives you a chance to get a fresh start....make your place nicer, replace appliances, new paint, get rid of carpet and replace with LVP, Etc....
