Do you prefer to have applicances at your rentals (single family) or not and why?

such as washer, dryer, microwaves etc....

Feel free to talk about it is a small investment to attract more renters and you will get many folds of money back through increased rent over the years OR maintenance on them is just a pain... etc.. etc...

Stove, refer, washer, dryer. I dont want tenants tearing up the linoleum when they move in and out, and most of those large appliances can be bought pretty cheap and covered by extended warranties.

It's not a small investment - people trash them, and since it's "part of the rent", then you have to replace them. They never clean the fridge, never dust the coils, so the equipment wears out quickly.

You can charge more rent if you have those "luxury" items, but you also have to make sure you get good renters in there, so you don't have to replace them every couple of years.

It's a nice write off as well.

I would recommend spending the couple hundred dollars more for a better quality product though, otherwise, you will be replacing them too often and it won't be worth it.

Fridge yes, at least where I am people expect it and most renters don't own one. Renters like dishwashers, too, if possible.

I wouldn't put in small appliances, people DO have those.
