Airbnb arbitrage furnishing cost

[Elizabeth Chan]

Hi everyone! I've been thinking about starting STR arbitrage because of the comparatively low start up cost. I understand the point about not building equity and also risks. But the cash flow is attractive and serves my current goals. I'm stuck on this: the furnishing cost will be close to $10,000 but leases typically are a year long. I'm just thinking the cost of furnishing is very high in comparison with the duration of time I can accrue revenue, ie. a year. Does that mean I should look for longer leases? Am I missing something in my thinking? Let me know your thoughts!

10k would be in the low end.

Yes ask for longt leases.
