He saying that they hauled  off new furniture which of course they didn’t.

I have some of my furniture on finance, a phone contract but nothing major.

Even if the tenant is great, just the act of moving furniture in and out creates wear on the property.

An appetizer tray (real or faux food, depending on your needs), designer furniture, and fresh paint make all the difference.2.APPEAL TO BASIC HUMAN NEEDS: SHELTER, FOOD, & A SENSE OF BELONGINGThis doesn't mean we can set a bottle of wine on the counter and wait for the house-selling genie to work his magic.

@Veronica Thomas I have them sign off on a checklist through docusign that has a check-in / check-out column (fans dusted, floors mopped, self-cleaning oven cleaned, shelf out fridge cleaning, microwave inside clean, toliet scrubbed inside and out, cabinets crumb free, no chemicals/furniture/toliet brushes/brooms left on premise, no large garbage items on street curb, etc, etc) .

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

What should I do if in  the property has belongings and furniture of the old owner?

Will make sure HOA is ok with it#2 I ran numbers today and I'd be the same at 3k/mo as I would long term'ing it (paying our friends $300/mo to manage (and upwards from there as the price increases above $3k), but would still need to buy furniture in addition.

If you decide to refurnish or redecorate, I have had pretty good luck with Ogle Furniture.  

I am currently in the furniture industry and I have rental properties as well.
