IMO It's worth spending the extra money to furnish it to make it unique... Nearly all the properties in any particular market look two in the same when you are a consumer scrolling through Airbnb... Not saying buy designer furniture, etc. but spend the extra dollars on the key areas that will make your place stand out on the first 1-5 photos online. The more clicks you get, the more bookings, higher occupancy, more reviews, and eventually higher nightly rate. It will pay off quicker than you think!

Excellent idea! And that seems to be what you did with your properties.  

I just put an offer to buy two cabins on one lot in the Smokies. If I become the owner, I will certain try my best to do what you just said. Thank you so much for your sharing.

Many thank to all of you for your warm welcome and valuable info.

I'll be watching and reading. There is so much helpful info on BP!

I wonder if anyone could kindly recommend a couple of reliable real estate agents and also property managers in Fresno area. You can contact me individually if you feel more comfortable that way.

Thanks again!

Hi everyone, my name is Charles. I live in central coast, CA, but I'd like to focus on central valley area, such as Fresno and Hanford, for investment opportunities (SFH and small MFH). This is a new experience for me and I'm eager to learn and experience.

I'm glad that I've found BP. People are so resourceful and helpful here.

I'm new to real estate investment, and I'd like to look for opportunities in Fresno area for single family homes or small multi-units. Buy and hold would be my approach.

Could anyone recommend a couple of reliable agents as well as property management firms?

You can contact me individually if you feel more comfortable that way.

Thanks a lot!
