Furnishing Your Long Distance Short Term Rental!

[Joe Stout]

Hey guys,

Struggling with planning the furnishing of my STR. How do you all deal with ordering things for your STR and getting them set up in the correct way? I have boots on the ground as in my agent out there. But I might actually drive a UHAUL filled with a bunch of yard sale furniture to my STR. This is my first time with an STR but I don't close until next Friday. Let me know how you guys do it. Do you usually have people in the area setting it up for you? And how much would you pay for that?

Thanks,

Joe Stout

I can't speak for other people as it seems we all have our own philosophy. I went to my STR ordered things before closing and spent a couple of weeks there setting things up. Depends on your market how you furnish it. I'm in a vacation market and bought higher quality furniture. Look at your competition and see how they are furnished. It's really market driven.
