Alternatively, consider furnished rentals, particularly for students in medical programs or those undergoing residencies.

Most my clients are out of state and I have a furnishing/design crew as well as co-hosting services at a discount for clients to really help maximize your returns and be as hands-off as possible.

Thanks  they would expect a furnished property and if you arent already a STR and just a normal LTR, that can cost a lot.

I am trying to research the most efficient ways to have an airbnb property furnished and ready to go remotely (different state).

However, my main expenses (furnishing the property, repair and renovation) happened in 2023.

I know many hosts have completely recouped all their down payment and furnishing costs within the first year just by doing a cost seg.

I would recommend checking out Furnished Finder and Airbnb/VRBO for 30+ days stays to see what else is in the market and get an idea of what they are renting for.

It came fully furnished and was already in excellent condition.

Just need some cosmetic repair of kitchen sink and bathroom sink to me) After phachase, we plan to furnish and do short term rental. 

I have a strict no pets policy on my 3BR fully furnished mid term rental because it is nicely furnished and decorated with soft furnishings, linens, etc, has a carpeted, finished basement, and a tiny but fully landscaped backyard.
