Attach ALL Furnishing

I am just curious as to why I have never heard anyone on BP make a standard of attaching all furnishing and/or appliances when possible, in order to do as much as possible to increase the value of a STR? -- Considering that many STR's come fully furnished, and an appraiser does not count un-attached appliances/furniture/etc. toward the home value. That would appear to put one in the best position long-term, if you intend to get a HELOC or Cash out Refi. For instance, the hot tub I will be getting costs 5 K, which is not negligible.

In particular, it would be absurd to attempt to move furniture out of the rental I recently purchased at any point down the road, as its driveway is an old on-way logging road which requires 4WD. The moving cost is prohibitively expensive. Just trying to think ahead. 

Thanks.
