Decorating a house flip

[Account Closed]

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.

We stage all out homes because they sell quicker and we get a higher price for them. It keeps the wow factor going as well with good pics and a great in person presentation. Some people cannot visualize where their furniture goes and that is a bit of a deterent from submitting an offer. We like to remove any and all obstacles their their writing in an offer. We also sometimes (25% of all homes sold) get asked to purchase some of the furniture or get asked be the designers for their new furniture. Can be a small side business even. Hope that helps and happy hunting!
