Decorating a house flip
is it a good or a bad idea, to decorate a house flip. Say I can get all the furniture and lights and decor for free. Will that make any profit or decrease value. Ignore my idea of its bad but I make minimum wage and can barely afford to live but want to somehow get a house and start flipping, of course I'd make the floors and lawn look nice and fix repairs having saved some money. But my main question is, imagine I bought a house, and instead of leaving it blank, decorated it and the rooms with some couches and pictures maybe even a flatscreen tv (assuming I got it all free and not stolen) etc etc etc and I'm not talking about paint, just the stuff you put in your new house to make it feel at home. Do you guys think that would increase the value to the PEOPLE? I know it's incredibly hard to stand out from competition especially if you me so this is just an idea please don't citizens my thinking.
