Its easy to store this proof forever. 

:)There are always some kind of good deal on furniture out there and I just have to pass because I am not currently looking to outfit another STR and I have no space.I would love to have a 10k sqft warehouse to store stuff when I find it so I have it @Patricia Andriolo-Bull

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Then they would take the dryer back to the store and sell them a gas dryer I can’t see how this happens other than you trying to rent out a property with no dryer installed?

Selling to the wrong buyer can become more expensive than carrying the home for slightly longer.I will buy my bath/kitchen fixtures at a plumbing supply house and not a big box store.

This is the same process a national retail store chains use to determine store locations and what to stock.

However the thermostat is mounted  to the wall a few feet from the front door in a highly accessed retail store where the door is constantly opened.

You don't have to go to the store. 

In a simple way: you wouldn't go to the store and buy $100 in cash for $150.

I would venture to say very few landlords correctly hold their deposits based on local landlord/tenant law but as long as the money doesn't walk away and is not wrongly withheld from tenants its highly unlikely wrongfully storing the funds will become problematic.
