A decent w/d should last you 10 years without issues and will give your apartment a boost for renters shopping for an apartment (Possibly even increase monthly rent?).

These protected classes are race, color, sex, national origin, family status (e.g. can't refuse to rent to a pregnant lady), mental/physical disability, and religion.

As nice as the inside is we need to boost the curb appeal for maximum rent! 

Banking on only appreciation to boost your net worth is risky. 

I've always had a an entrepreneur mentality.
