Purchasing a unfurnished vs a furnished condo

[Chantel Smith]

We are looking to make our 3rd purchase of a nightly rental.  We are looking at a 3 bedroom/2 bath condo.  The price of the condo unfurnished is 209,950 and the price furnished is 239,950.  We think that 30,000 is a bit excessive.  Any  thoughts?

@Chantel Smith Way too much!  We can buy lightly used furniture from a furniture rental place or a home stager for 10k to furnish a house that size.  Those are great places to start because alot of the furniture places have already made all their money back on the furniture and normally the furniture is used for short term events or home staging.  I would try to negotiate that way down just like everything else.
