I've narrowed down my top three properties.

1. My favourite property is a turn-key solution. Well-taken care of by owners, beautifully renovated, with lots of attention to detail (near flawless.) The only thing that irks me is they replaced all their appliances in 2019 with Samsung - Fridge, stove, dish washer, microwave/hood fan, and washer dryer. I kind of wished that they didn't, so it would leave me with some room for negotiations.

2. Second property has all new Maytag appliances, I think (I have to check my notes.) They're all brand new, so I'm not 100% hell bent on this.

3. Unit #3 is a weird one. They have a mix of LG (fridge) Whirlpool stove/oven, Bosch dish washer, and some bizarre Maytag washer/dryer with a super old skool logo on it (never seen this one before.)

If I were buying a fixer-upper, or were renovating, then this would give me the freedom to pick and choose what to get, but given that most of these are turn-key units/move-in ready, it would be silly to just rip out all the year-old appliances to throw something in I pick and choose. The Samsung one is a weird one for me because I am of the opinion that planned obsolescence is part of their manufacturing and marketing process.
