1031: Sold Turnkey home, purchasing unfurnished - may I use 1031 to furnish new STR ?

[Kasha Williamson]

My purchase is $25k under the net of the STR sale, would like to use that $25K to do some landscaping improvements (trees/fencing) and to furnish the STR. May I use that $25k difference to do so, and if so how does my QI distribute ?

Thank you.
