If she really wanted to stay there, she would then need to go out and purchase her own furniture and appliances. 

The entire complex is also being sold completely furnished with high-end furnishings throughout... subzero refrigerators, bed linens, high-end furniture, etc. 3.

I had only bought the property a few months prior and there was little furniture.

@Ken Snay - If the numbers make sense, making up-front improvements and adding furniture/decor could help give you an edge in the market.

If you go to home depot and spend $500 on materials, but don't have the receipt, how would the IRS know you did not purchase a new grill or patio furniture for yourself.

I considered a spiral staircase but from what I’ve read on here tenants hate them , partially due to the difficulty of moving furniture up them.

And to top it off:Very little furniture, lots of dump runs, sometime the grass and landscape get neglected for a couple weeks, always sweeping and vacuuming up dust, painters tape stuck to your clothes, joint compound imbedded into your jeans, tools scattered around the house, half a wall is opened, trim isn't done....

Baseboard has its disadvantages too because you have to run that radiator basically along the base of the whole wall which moves the furniture out a few inches.

Furniture, jewelry, paid off cars or a lien on your personal home?

If I worked in an office and drove the truck to work every day in my suit and tie I guess a pick up truck with a leather interior and fancy paint and big price would be ok.
