The broker does this for free because they get to supply the resulting force-placed policy.  

Apartment data is very good for BFR.BTR more resilient to flat rental growth.Fundamentals of BFR are normalizing.Look at supply coming into any market you are developing.Look at yields that are accretive to debt.Investors in 2021 and 2022 looking at just yields and not market value of their assets.

In this kind of setup you don't normally provide other than starter supplies for consumables.

Buy your Own MaterialsThe hot tip for the week is: Buy your materials / supplies, especially for high-priced /large / single items.

Supplies cost around $1000. 

Similarly Market Supply has remained at a more healthy value, but is not indicating any issue or distress of the market.

I don't know which are best but you can bet if it supplies too little the tenants will change them for ones that flow more.

If you are tearing down the plaster/drywall/paneling on the walls and exposing the studs and the plumbing is old (not copper for the supply pipes or PVC/ABS for the sewer pipes) I would update the piping.

For those STR operators and investors that are not comfortable self managing (communication with tenants, scheduling cleaners and organizing supplies) one option is to hire a designated full/part time employee. 

@Vanessa SwitzlerHuntsville is going through a correction right now, with supply outpacing demand.
