1st STR Need Furniture Sourcing Suggestions

[Eric McClam]

My wife and I just bought our first STR in Powder Horn Mountain neighborhood in Deep Gap, NC outside of Boone, NC. Its a 4 bed / 3 bath 2700 sq. foot home. Looking for suggestions on where to source attractive commercial grade furniture that will stand up to STR turn over rate. Need Help!

Thanks,

Eric

@Eric McClam do me a favor, forget about the question you asked for just a second and do the following:

- Go to Airbnb/VRBO

- Select location that you’ve been wanting to go to visit (even if it’s unrealistic at this point)

- Pick your top 3 stays from that list and open them in separate browser tabs

Look through those and take note of the design, decor, and furnishing within each property. My guess is that you ended up with three beautiful properties were they did not skimp on the interior design or furnishings.

The point that I’m trying to make is that most folks that are booking STRs are going to have a similar mindset. Spend the extra money and buy new (if possible) furniture from reputable stores and retailers - you won’t regret it.

If you’re thinking I don’t have the cash for that, well then you can look into getting a new credit card with 0% interest for the first 12-18 months and then just pay it back over that span.

That’s my suggestion. Good luck!
