Depends if you wanted a disposal there or not. The fact that it is there or isn’t shouldn’t impact the goals for the property or the remodel.
So if you are asking if we put disposals in…depends. Some properties yes of course. Some other would end up being more hassle than worth it and wouldn’t impact income.

No. We put a disposal in every Reno possible.

Gerry, probably not but we’re more quality and comfort than profit

Gerry, our owners require us to remove them due to the constant maintenance issues caused by not all residents using them properly.

Everywhere I’ve been they have added them. Personally think they shouldn’t. People use them as trash cans and there’s always so many work orders associated with them. They can’t possibly make money off having it. No one ever asks me during tours if there is a disposal. ??‍♀️

The residents do use them though! All homes have one, multifamily is really no different. It's helpful and cuts down clogged drains.

We are removing them as they stop working. When we renovate kitchens, we’ll remove them.

If it works don't replace it just reinstall it
