Closing costs can be thousands of dollars, and you may need to foot the bill for inspections, home repairs, or even fun things, like new furniture.

My two teens and I spent the night moving furniture to the street for bulk trash pick up, cleaning and emptying the house. 

Antique furniture, really nice one-of-a-kind artwork and wall hangings.Now if the guest mentions a birthday/anniversary/special occasion etc, we will leave some treats, even beer, wine or champagne depending.....There is no set way to do it, just go with your gut......what would you want to see when you walk in the door?

She is seriously on top of her game when it comes to taking care of the two children we raised and both children are currently in college to get Phd's for math and the other for some sort of manufacturing of drugs )or something).Say what you want about being a gold digger, but we live in a commercial building on concrete floors with zero furniture with the exception of mattresses and when she shops for clothing she does buy some Guess clothing, but she is super frugal and loves to purchase shirts and items for as little as $3.

That does not include all other fee, keep in mind that STR property managers deal with the high turnover, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, dealing with all the furniture, appliances, services like cable, internet,  and all other amenities including pools if you have one. let me know if you need a referral to a STR property manager or if you have any other questions.  

To me over leveraged means you have big car notes  your CC are close to or are maxed out and your only making minimum payments you go buy furniture and you finance it.. you buy real estate with the least amount possible down at market prices.And your cash reserves would only last you a few months to service all the debt.So no retail debt pay cash for anything you consume or use  OTHER Than a vehicle and decent amount of TRUE equity in your real estate no FO equity IE refi appraisal but you know the home would never ever sell for that on the open market. bascially follow Dave Ramsy and @Steve Vaughan  over the years on BP has written some really good comments on how to build an empire while balancing family life and fiscal safety..

They can act as your boots on the ground and check on the property when they’re cleaning and tell you when you’re running low on supplies, furniture is broken, etc.
