Costs for Furnishing a Vacation Rental Property

[Gary Ennis]

Experienced VR owners - I'd love to hear your tips/tricks for furnishing a property in a manner that is cost effective while still appealing to your target guests.

We spent way too much (IMO) on furnishing our first VR - a 1340sf 3/1 that ended up costing almost $15K to equip. 

What are your secrets for supplying everything from king size beds to pizza cutters and everything in between, without breaking the bank? 

What do you think is the "typical" cost for furnishing a 2/1, 3/2, or 4- or more bedroom property, based on your market/experience?
