Short Term Rental - Day 1

Sam M.
Posted

Hello everybody - happy to be a part of this great community.

So we have embarked on our first Short Term Rental journey. In the process of closing on a home in the mountains of western NC. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, nice size place.

The place is brand new so will have to furnish it, equip the kitchen with supplies, linens, towels, blankets, and everything else needed to make the place inhabitable.

Questions is how did you guys start on Day 1? Did you go to Costco, Target etc. and started buying all the things you needed or is there a preferred website (Alibaba?) that you frequented to load up. And finally, is there a budget rule that should be followed while furnishing the place?

Thanks in advance.

My first day with a guest under my first roof I had a tree fall on that roof. Just let it rip and learn from your mistakes!
