Students are notorious for not cleaning, and if left untouched for long periods of time, can develop mold in Fridges, bathrooms, etc making it difficult to remove after they move.  

A fridge,toaster and MW on the same 15A circuit could do it, but normal household loads SHOULD NOT.Get one of those 3 led outlet testers and map the apartments with someone turning on and off the breakers.

I spent time searching for good deals on attractive light fixtures, fridges and dishwashers, flooring, bath/ kitchen fixtures, door handles, built-in bookcase, etc that would give my units a unique and quality feel to them.

a quick note on prices...i just bought a brand new garden sized tub for 5 bucks...i just bought a brand new matching set of stainless steel appliances (oven, otr microwave, fridge, and dw) for 1,000...i try not to pay retail

If homes are renting for say $700 with no appliances, you might be able to offer 1 fridge or a stove or both. 

Personally, I know I toss a door hanger right in the garbage, but if there is a sticky note at eye level I sort of have to read it lol Thanks for the ideas everyone, great thread Danny A sticky note is also easier for the homeowner to put on their fridge so they can call you later.

@Mindy Jensen For our VRBO Lake House we provide kayaks, paddle boat, canoe, life jackets and floats.We provide consumables: paper products, spices, condiments (squeeze bottles only) coffee. these items don't cost much and the guests really appreciate them.We have a fully stocked kitchen. extra pillows and blankets.We have something sweet in the fridge for them with a personal welcome card.We want to make it a great vacation for our guests and our 74 five star reviews on homeaway reflects that.We are constantly making upgrades to the property.

I'm freshening a unit: the fridge must go and I'm going to add an over the range MW, both in stainless (got a great $170 deal on an LG MW at the Depot).
