I'm starting to acquire furnishings and am looking for a checklist of sorts to help keep myself organized as I seek the best deals on high quality goods to furnish our rental. 

Although I do my own rentals so it doesn’t bother me to do it. 

I'm also investing out of state and just got our first rental property.

@Emily Shin landlord experience is invaluable for a career in rental real estate.It's not something you may want to do long term, but the experience can help you select and manage PMCs.

Data point: we have a long-term rental in a popular STR neighborhood listed through Zillow right now.Every person who writes asking to do some sort of arbitrage is blocked by the Zillow platform.I don't even have to say "no thank you anymore."  

We have two rental properties in Los Angeles.

I am exiting the rental market here (love living here tho). 

Better than buying a section 8 rental for 180,000 2000 miles away2.

Do not expect to keep them and be prepared to have to evict.If the jurisdiction this property is in requires anything in place in order to evict such as rental licenses, etc., get them in place before discussing an increase with the tenant because it's much easier to get inspections and repairs done when the tenant cooperates.
