Furnishing 3 unit midterm rental, Mixing house hack and midterm rental

[Alex Perez]

Hi all,

I am closing on my first deal 7/1/24, it's a duplex up-down 2b/1b units with a single garage. I am looking to move into the top unit occupying 1 bed, and looking to furnish the other 3 bedrooms and purpose sharing the one bathroom, with a midterm tenants. I am 5 miles from 2 major hospitals in the St.Paul MN area. My concern is that I invest in furnishing the 3 bedroom and 2 living rooms and that I go to cheap or to expensive. And the furniture needs to be changed out because it isn't comfortable or something like that. Any recommendations on sourcing quality furniture, with that what amenities are good to have with a fenced in back yard?

The numbers also work for the this to be a long term tenant in the down stairs unit to cover part of the mortgage. 

All input is greatly appreciated!!
