I fear some of these outfits are preying on unsuspecting buyers.Swanny 

The condo in question cost me $38k to fully outfit (2011 prices).  

To start, I need funds to outfit this house w furniture and fittings. 

Thing is small Property Management outfits don't make any money.

I've heard that people in my situation may have more luck working with the "smaller outfits".

I sguuest you stay clear of big box stores and go to a flooring outfit and take a look at their LVP - typically much better quality for similar price.Also, saving 1$ per sf at the cost of quality is not a smart move.

I'm sure some higher end kitchen and bath outfits can do the same.

This can be a handyman , a contractor , a real estate agent / broker , , property management outfit , a family member that happens to live in the area you are wanting to invest ..There are people out there willing to do these types of services and or even partner up on deals .. 

@Wei Jie Yang, all the companies mentioned above are "good" as opposed to the many "bad" outfits in Memphis.Now your most important 6 items are really all you need to focus on regardless of where you buy from.Number 1, 2,3,4 and 5 are GOOD MANAGEMENT. 

LOL  @Paul Sandhu has a great business model but, if you don't already know, his clientele are traveling blue-collar workers for the local factories who would otherwise stay in motels - so if you're targeting vacationers or white-collar businesspeople, you'll want to outfit your properties quite nicely.
