Preparing a house to sell don’t toss appliances.

We are looking for a trusted handyman for long term who can help us in maintaining the properties and fix the ongoing issues such as water leaks, electrical issues, plumbing issues, heating issues, appliances and kitchen issues etc. 

I had never used these groups much before but I snapped a few pics of vanities and tops, kitchen cabinets, doors, windows, old appliances and even a pile of used lumber from a demolished deck.

Move the tainted appliance to another location and move in the tenants' washer. 

I don't really have urine issues as all the flooring are hard porcelain or ceramic tiles, not carpet or wood.The issues with dogs that I have personally experienced are ripped up sprinkler wires and valves in the yard, craters in the yard, ripped down window blinds and draperies, kitchen cabinet doors with hinges pulled off, interior doors or cabinet doors with corners chewed off, claw marks on baseboards and door trims, neighbors complaining about excessive barking, property maintenance or appliance repair or others trying to service the property hesitate to enter property due to hissing and barking aggressively, property insurance carrier's unannounced inspection requiring dog breed/vaccination/wellness records etc etc etc...So all things considered I have disallowed dogs but not cats. 

(There is now snow in the hole but the drain/pad and basement door are already in place) the rest is moving some plumbing in the floor for a bathroom (about 7 feet) and then some minor electrical (a couple fixtures & wiring existing electrical for this area into the circuit breaker) drywall, flooring, trim/doors, cabinets, painting, placing appliance’s and setting the toilet, tub & two sinks.

We basically stripped the house down to the studs and did a full cosmetic rehab, including all new kitchen cabinets and counters, all new appliances, all new bathroom tile, cabinets, counters and fixtures, installed solid core doors for sound proofing and security, smart locks on each individual bedroom for convenience and security, all new exterior siding, new furnace and AC, new electrical panel, installed all GFCI outlets since old outlets weren't grounded, new LED light fixtures, new exterior doors, and more.

Tenants appreciate the nicer things and are willing to pay a bit more for many things that would otherwise be considered as unnecessary expenses, i.e. upgraded appliances, tile backsplash, etc.

.*)I'd recommend looking for a townhouse, row home, SFH, etc. that will allow you to have a mother-in-law suite in the basement or elsewhere, that you can add a wet bar and some smaller appliances for a renter (a range + stove can be tough permit-wise, but think air fryer, really nice combo small countertop convection oven, etc).

What if the water heater or HVAC stops working, or an appliance breaks.
