The last time I used one the guy told me the dishwasher motor was burned out but forgot to turn the water on under the sink feeding the appliance.

The stove works so I will be adding black appliances.

In the past two months we completed more work than the previous four combined.So here we are, this weekend my brother and I are doing finishing touches, appliances are being delivered Monday, final cleaning is Wednesday, and shortly after the house is being appraised and the property manager is taking final pictures to post for prospective tenants!

Many try to provide this and run into your experience.I provide hook-ups for their appliances and and skirt the issue of maintenance.If I had a centralized laundry, I would contract out the whole thing (sell off equip) and split the profits with the service provider. 

I have to say though that you may be able to make the kitchen even more modern by going with one of the fashionable mid-grey shades which would pull together your appliances and countertop (which you didn't mention changing).

@Richard Stephens The reasons why Comps fluctuate are due to differing layouts in terms of the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, total square footage of living space, quality of interior (updated kitchens with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, type of garage if any, etc.) that varies from market to market.

We also always provide matching black appliances.
