Leave the fridge. It may not be a deal-breaker, but it's not worth the price
or the 'maybe I shouldda thrown in the fridge' thought you will have.

Get a seven year old to explain it to you.

"It don't come with a refrigerator. I bought one" should explain it even
to the most obtuse person. If she were renting it out and she bought a
fridge, then the apartment have have come with a fridge. Only an idiot
would think that there was any suggestion that she and her brother were
renting the house out......and come to think of it..... you are the only
one questioning it.




She didn't say that they had bought a house and rented it out. Nor did
she say that they got a fridge for the tenant.



If she had said that they had gone on vacation together and rented a
car, would you think that they rented their car to someone else?

When my mother died last year my brother, who was executor, put the
house up for sale within days. AAMOF, she died very early on a Friday
and he and I met with the realtor on Saturday afternoon, and it was sold
within the week with a closing date three months later. If we had known
that it would sell so fast we would have asked a lot more for it.

My wife thought that we moved too fast on it, but that was not her call.
To hold on to the unit longer would have meant having to pay taxes,
condo fees, utilities etc for the duration. Hell, my parents were pretty
good at finances and have approved of the fiscal responsibility.

This realtor is right about the obsession with the fridge. Is your
brother a realtor?
Why would you take his word for this? Whatever you have in your
contract is
what, in black and white, will go down.

Generally in California the/a refrigerator will come with a rental but not
with a purchase, unless the refrigerator is a large built in which is part
of the kitchen decor.

There may be COSMETIC/DECORATING reasons to do so.

Jill, I live in Greenville, SC, and I think refrigerators being included
with the house vary with locations. I was in real estate before I
retired, and fridges don't come with houses up here......however, when
my sister died 4 years ago in Atlanta they do come with the house.

Don't dare buy a new one......use that money to get someone to help you
stage the house for showing. The smoking could be a huge issue and
could require painting and recarpeting the whole house to get rid of the
odor. We ran into that wirh my sister's house, especially after it was
empty and closed up. You'd be surprised how it clings, and some people
are very sensitive to the odor.

Good luck!

I've seen houses where the people inside have been heavy smokers, and
it's actually *stained* any open surface.

Best bet with that sort of house is to burn it down and claim the
insurance.

It all depends on how much moiney you want to make.

People buy houses just FOR the incredible kitchens/bathrooms. Most
folks do NOT want to go out and buy appliances. This is stupid, of
course, because IF they went and bought their own kitchen apps, clearly
they would save money....but you cant go wrong underestimating the
intelligence of the public. Or their imaginations.

If a person looks at three houses, all basically with the same rumber
oif rooms, etc, and one has a fancy kitchen, that is the one that will
sell.

If I ever decide to sell, I will take an equity loan and remodel both
bathrooms and the kitchen with top of the line stuff. Because livable
space sells, I will convert my garage into a downstairts living area,
change the garagte door to sliding glass, add a galley kitchen....and
add fifty grand OR MORE to the value, OVER what the work will cost me.
I might even borrow an extra 20 K and build a descending deck OFF my
deck going out over the stream, with a gazebo on it, complete with a
fancy schmantzy gas grill and fridge and wine cooler....heh heh
heh....adding perhaps an extra 100 K, along wioth the new bathrooms and
fancy kitchen.

I agree it isnt worth it to JUST go buy a fridge...but IF you can, get a
new top of the line fridge,, replace the dishwasher, stove, etc. with
top of the line matching gear....Likewise, re-do the bathrooms with
up-to-date amenities, like the "bowl" type sinks and "no-touch" toilets
that flush automatically. Add the cost to the selling price PLUS an
extra 10- 20 grand.

You have to remember that people with money are looking for houses, just
as people without money are---and the people WITH money arent worried
about getting a mortgage loan. So, fancy UP to meet the moneyed market.
The "poor" folks who might buy your house "as is" without a fridge
probably cant get a mortgage loan, anyway......and the folks WITH money
wont be interested.

I've bought properties with and without refrigerators. You ~don't~ have to
provide one as long as all is disclosed, etc. But there is such a thing as
presentation or staging and the better and more complete the house looks
when you are trying to sell it, the more you can get for it.

'blake' is just being a spoilt little bitch.

And your stupid little comment on toilets is just as bad.

As I said *previously* (and no-one seems to read the complete content of
posts nowadays... stupidity? or illiteracy?) house/flats/condos over
here *do not* come with anything in them. No fridge, no washing machine,
no furniture, no beds, no nothing.


And if someone left any such items in the dwelling, they would be thrown
in the rubbish.

I s'pose you and your little bitch 'blake' would gladly move into a
house and sleep on a bed that's been left there, with sheets that have
been left there, without washing anything, wouldn't you?


Australians are self-sufficient and don't rely on someone leaving
furniture/bedding in a house, so that the next people to move in will
have something to sleep on, sit on, wash their clothes in, put their
food in.

They have beds in Australia? I thought they were all still sleeping with
the dingoes in the outback ... oh wait! that's the dogs who seem to
like sleeping with the Australians.

If one has eaten in a restaurant i don't see how complaining about bed
clothes is particularly relevant (to say nothing of logical), except in
the mind of some who have not thought through all the ramifications.

The mere fact that 2 such obviously male contributors would be referred
to (collectively or singularly) as "bitch" tell me more about the
author of the usage than i really care to know

And of course if that usage is typical of Australian males
well.....what's the old saying "a handsome face is the best disguise for
a treacherous heart"? that Peter Lucas does have some remarkable
physiognomy, at least facialy, which is, apparently & unfortunately, as
facile as it is facial.

Yes, I have. And they *launder* the sheets after every stay.

You obviously just 'sleep' in those "pay by the hour" hotels.

And you have just shown us what sort of state *your* mind is in!!

Equating sleeping on someone elses grotty sheets to eating in a
resaurant. Like 'sf' and her choice of hotels, it seems your choice of
eating establishments is rather base.

Oh *really*????

One only has to do a quick Google on "Omnitheistic Church".

It seems, your "church" has it's own publishing company.... the
Omnitheistic Church Press.

" We are a small publishing house, founded in 1993, owned and operated
by The Omnitheistic Church, dedicated to publishing items of interest to
*** Males who want to know more about the occult, Paganism, and erotic
spirituality."

So what is australia like iran in your mind? no queers in oz? or do we
fall back on the explanation that the male who would even attempt to use
such an accusation against another is merely demonstrating their own
latency? That natural part of themselves they hate vehemently? its
generally the case.

Besides, out side of the '***' community, how many men refer to other
men as a "bitch"? Ok, outside of the *** men's community and a penal
colony

So you're saying there's no gays in Iran??

Typical uninformed yank.


And for you to get all girly hysterical about me calling you and your
mate a pair of bitches, is a bit rich!!

I saw your 'Orginization' name, I saw what it stands for, you should be
the last person on the planet to be offended at being called a bitch. I
thought it would be something you'd know, and be able to relate to.


Now, bitch, don't go away angry..... just go away.

Although most homes/flats are rented as vacant, it is possible to rent
furnished properties here Peter.Twenty or so years ago I lived away from
home (in Wagga) when I was studying and I rented a little furnished flat -
had a bed, a couple of chairs and a coffee table in the tiny living room, a
fridge and shared use of a washing machine in an outside laundry.

Just got to look at real estate ads and see heaps of furnished rentals.
Especially in Melbourne & Sydney. Once again Peter Lucas is talking bull. I
don't know why you folks just don't kill file the prick and be done with it.

A lot of young people do, JL... but Peter's not young in any sense of

It's hard to keep up with contemporary usage of words, especially ones
that I don't use, but this dictionary:

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/bitch

gives:

"a well-meaning greeting, usually between men. Also bitch-face.

What's up, bitch?

What's up, bitch-face?"

among its 14 definitions of the noun.

Also, slang is one of the first things to get localized. Sometimes
people in the US think they know the meaning of a word, but it can be
used quite differently in other countries.

I move in canine circles where the terms bitch and stud are descriptive
nouns. Dog people do use "bitch" or "bitchy" as insults, though. Male
dogs will brawl but their fights end when one or the other goes belly-up
in submission. Bitch fights are much more vicious and often lethal.

There's an old saying in the dog world:

"Studs fight to breed. Bitches fight to breathe".

In fairness, though, a couple of people on this very group, within the
last month, said that they wouldn't wash their dog's bedding in their
washing machine, out of fear that it would get dirty.

We have no babies in our house now, but I well remember washing diapers,
including the brown ones, in our washing machine. We did not have a
dedicated washing machine for that.

All cat bedding gets washed at the washateria, but not because of dirt.
All that hair damages my very expensive front loader...

I would have guessed that cat bedding and especially dog bedding is
washed at the laundromat because their machines are bigger. My down
comforter gets washed there for that reason.... especially those big
driers. It comes out nice and fluffy every time.

Anyone with half a blinking brain brushes and shakes or vacuums animal
bedding before washing.

That goes without saying, Cybercat.... I was thinking along the same
lines. I have an expensive front loader too, not the most expensive
(LG) - but expensive enough (Maytag).

I know Om is caring for more than her share of cats, so I wasn't going
to be snide. She's caring for her dad and caring for cats she didn't
collect because she made a promise to somebody she loved. I think
she's doing the best she can given the situation and had a poor choice
of words in that post. Sh*t happens, so does cat hair.

One time I asked my husband to wash a throw rug that hangs out in the mud
room with one of the cat boxes. He literally put the thing in the washer as
is, no shaking, nothing. The grit and h air got way down deep into the motor
or somewhere bad, judging from the sound of it. The motor quit a few washes
later.
