New member intro/furnishing list

[Trace Adams]

Hi all! I have been a member of the BP community for awhile but have not formally introduced myself through this forum. I live in the Denver, CO metro area and have become very interested in REI through house hacking my first home purchase last summer in the Littleton area. We (my girlfriend and I) live in the 2/2 upstairs, and furnished the 2/1 walkout basement and are renting it out as a MTR. We bought the house for $595,000 with 5% down and a 2/1 buydown, so our PITI is currently $3,600, and we are getting about $2,250 on average from the basement. We love having someone else pay over half our mortgage payment!

Fast forward to today and I am actually starting a new real estate business called Upgrade Real Estate & Moving. We will be offering the following services: full-service rental property furnishing (including "remote" furnishing), home staging (including virtual staging), real estate photography, and STR/MTR cohosting. We will also have a moving business as a complementary offering to our other services and to better monetize the moving truck we will be buying.

We likely won't formally "launch" all of our services for a couple of months because we do not have a truck or storage facility quite yet, but we do have a furnishing list in google sheets that I wanted to share in the meantime - this is a full list of everything needed for furnishing a property, complete with amazon links, prices which update dynamically from amazon, and calculations showing the total cost. I will share that link below (note you will need to download google sheets and create your own copy), and will also share the link to our website once we have that launched. In the meantime, we can do remote furnishing and virtual staging for people anywhere, and can do photography and cohosting for anyone in the Denver metro area!
