 See for yourself! YMMV

For some things it probably won't. I was looking specifically for dressers, which IMO are the toughest item to shop on a budget for, and good brands are already expensive so they seem that charge in line with that. Amazon is already pretty competitive already so I wouldn't expect much of a spread there but I've seen some pretty significant markups on Wayfair and Overstock. Their business model is scraping the internet for every furniture vendor and charging whatever markup they can get away with. One of the image searches linked me to a site specifically for commercial hospitality purchasing.

I could see this working for dining tables and nightstands as well. 

Thanks @Mike Dymski Yes the West Village is only a 5 minute walk and is livelier than I expected on weekends. Very short drive to downtown. 

I have thought about going the MTR route but I will at least give it through the summer to see how things average out. I think I can keep pushing my weekend rate upwards because by Wed/Thurs there are only 1-2 dozen places left for the upcoming weekend in the city limits (or just outside like mine), and most of what's left is either crap or overpriced. 

My next investment may be specifically for MTR in Greenville and closer to the hospitals. The contractor I used knows everyone and has good leads on off market properties. 

Thanks @Michael Baum  was planning to have my cleaner add some small succulents or fake plants. Maybe in a clear jar with some colored pebbles or something. A few more decorations with some color have gone up since. 

That building is an old textile mill. At one point Greenville SC produced more textiles than anywhere in the world. Shoeless Joe worked in that building. Now it has been converted into high end condos that are well over $400k. There are several other projects like this around the city that have been renovated for mixed use. 

Search for the item you need. When you find what you like, right click copy the image and do a reverse image search on google images. AKA google lense. Click on the "camera" icon at images.google.com or go this url https://images.google.com/?gws... and drag or paste the item into it. 

This should bring up numerous photos of the actual item on various pages. Click on those photos and you should find the actual vendor that Wayfair or Overstock is scraping from. I've seen stuff thats $600 on Wayfair at half the price. What those sites at least do well is giving you options that you can filter, because Amazon filters and search terms don't work for ****. 

Happy Hunting! 

Slightly off- it’s across from Brandon Mill. The West village is a 5 minute walk and gets pretty busy on weekend nights. 

The investor activity nearby is bonkers. A 3600 Sf dental lab 2 doors down sold for $900k a few months ago. 500 feet away as at Saco and Pendleton has another 200 condo units going in. 

Hi Ken, @John Underwood  called it below, I am slightly outside the city limits so I’m good to go. City wants to annex but I will refuse it, and even if they do I am zoned “Office” which is allowed to apply (but not an automatic approval). 

Appreciate the compliment!

Been meaning to share this with you all. Will be listing on VRBO soon and probably doing a Houfy direct page as well. Already own the URL of the name and will funnel that into the houfy page and maybe at some point I will build out a proper direct booking site. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! 

Seems like an odd pair of cities to ask about in the same sentence. The appeal of Branson is self explanatory but what would your angle be in Dubuque? University and medical professionals? Seems like it's got some random quirky cool stuff that attracts some visitors regional but nowhere near what Branson does.
