Furnished or Unfurnished Bedrooms?

[Andrew Bissada]

I will be doing a house hack, and plan on furnishing the living room since I will live there. But I am wondering if I should furnish the other bedrooms. Will I get more renters if the bedrooms are furnished or unfurnished?

I think it really depends on what type of tenant they're looking for. A furnished room is more likely to attract students, people who will be in the city temporarily and young people who are just moving out on their own. If they're looking for a long-term tenant, then an unfurnished room is often more attractive.
