Investor Spec recommendation

Kitchen Sinks

Single-bowl stainless-steel kitchen sink, approximately 30–32 inches wide and 8–10 inches deep, with sound-deadening pads or undercoating and a standard 3½-inch disposal-compatible drain. 16-gauge Type 304 stainless steel is preferred; 18-gauge is acceptable for value applications.

Flip vs. Rental Guidance

The same core specification applies. Workstation sinks can provide additional perceived functionality in an upgraded flip but are not required.
