Trying to find someone who can help me furnish a short term renta
I have a house in Galveston, TX that is almost ready for short-term rental. It is currently empty and in need of fully furnishing the place. I tried to do it myself but I realized that my energy is limited. I reached out to a couple of professional staging people but they charge a lot. For a 2,000 sq ft house, they wanted something like $30k to fully furnish the place and it will take almost 60 days. My question to all the folks who are experienced short-term rental owners is, what's your method of getting the house furnished quickly in a cost-effective way?

If it's mostly assembling boxed furniture, you could hire workers from TaskRabbit or a similar platform and have them stage per your instructions to the best of their ability. Then, you come in afterwards for a couple of days and do the final staging.
