EP. 1503 The Appliance Trap Every Landlord Should Avoid
⚡ Appliance traps landlords fall into ⚡
Dishwashers. Ovens. Washing machines. Exhaust fans.
Do you repair… or replace? 🤔
Here’s the truth ⬇️
✔️ Call-out + repair = $140–$200 just to diagnose (often ½ the cost of a new unit)
✔️ Then wait weeks for parts = unhappy tenants 😡
✔️ If you’ve had 8–10 years from an appliance, you’ve done well
✔️ Replace = new warranty + happy tenants + tax-deductible 📝
👉 Stick to cheap, standard sizes. Don’t fall in love with your Miele or Smeg in an investment property.
💡 Pro tip: Bosch dishwashers with dials not buttons last longer.
