What is the typical furnish cost per room for STR?

Furnishings and UtensilsHowever, you should absolutely be prepared for higher turnover (students don't stay for years) and their lifestyle (being young and dumb as we all were) leads to more wear and tear. 

Due to my job, I have very little time to actively manage and am requiring everything from furnishing, renovating, and handling the daily responsibilities of managing a short term rental.

There are more moving parts between cleanings, reviews, keeping inventory of a furnished place, bookings, new people every few days, people not understanding the difference between an airbnb and hotel etc.

Tyler Shirk's team with Bear BnB is the "go-to" for STR PM in Kansas City-- and they specialize in taking control of the property, furnishings, and pretty much handling everything.

We get most of our bookings through Furnished Finder and Airbnb.
