How much does rent increase with extras in a rent house?

What city are we talking about here? Can't be Baton Rouge paying $750 a month or I know for a fact you're on plank Rd at the nearest meth house.

Realistically though, typically 0.6-0.8% of your home value. Look on zillow and compare homes from your neighborhood or surrounding area. It'll give you a general idea of what people are asking/willing to pay.


Edit: forgot to mention, a lot of people don't just have a washer/dryer/fridge laying around to bring with them when renting a place. 99% of properties I see include them. It's kinda shitty if you don't and will have to find that 1/100 tenant who has those items laying around

Agreed

I rent my rent house for $950 plus utilities in Watson and it only has a stove and ac. No fridge, no washer and dryer, no microwave etc. The more appliances the more maintenance. Fug dat headache.
1200 sq ft. Much older home.

It adds value but not something you can really charge extra for. You chose to have/add that so you're really not giving a tenant anything "extra"

You could charge extra for things like furniture, hard wood floors compared to carpet, updated appliances

Considering I've been renting it for 12 years straight now it isn't hard to do when you are in an area that is desired for the school district. Every tenant has had their own washer and dryer. I use to have a fridge in it but every tenant would generally have their own and request not to use the one I had so I got tired of moving it in and out. I've had zero problems renting mine and in fact I've never had to advertise as it has always been word of mouth.

About halfway between $300 and $400.

I have several rental properties in decent neighborhoods and have always used the formula of $.50 per square foot and then round up or down some.

1450 sq ft x $.50 and I get $800/month

I looked at what people were charging in the area. I always included fridge, stove, and microwave, dishwasher. I like the fridgiare Gallery line as my friend gives who sells and services them gives me a fair deal on this line compared to Whirlpool and GE. I do not include washer and dryer as most my tenants have these items. I get $1,500 a month on 1400 sq ft homes in S Baton Rouge decent non flood area. That price includes bi weekly lawn maintenance.

When I had apartments and duplexes in NBR. You have to included everything and go cheap on your appliances (hot point or something similar). I had tenants try to sell my appliances to the pawn shop or their friends. Depending on area I was getting $750 to $800 (longtime elderly tenants $550 to $600) in Redoaks while section 8 was paying $1,500 for Similar units not updated. Section 8 tenants will usually leave your place trashed and not worth the extra money.
Now before I sold my units I paid $50k a duplex. The newer landlords are or were buying them for around $100,000. I feel these places peaked in value at $100,000 as Redoaks is a war zone now. Mine were also paid off and I was making a good return on my investment until the hurricane Katrina refugees destroyed the area.
