That is key IMHO.As far as furniture, OfferUP, Facebook Marketplace and Craiglist has a TON of USA made furniture for either free or pennies on the dollar.

I gave them both a free month lease back for furniture or a low price for the homes.

Before Pictures  (Zillow Link)After Pictures (Airbnb Link) This investor purchased and painted all the bedrooms and living spaces, replaced flooring all throughout, and has gotten brand new and very high-end furniture. 

Some furniture places (for a small fee) allow you to buy now and pay within 6 months interest free. 

So really selling lease plus furniture.

And my wife wants all new furniture of course so maybe I do a furnished rental ???

Is the garage big enough to have a full queen bed in there with some furniture for an extra sleeping area.I would also add the PS5 or maybe a Switch or Wii?

Check for burn marks Burn marks on furniture, countertops, or carpets are a clear sign of smoking.

The largest part of the bill not covered was the moving of their furniture in and out.

Otherwise you spend year 1 paying yourself back for the furniture (if you're lucky) and then hope to make a profit in year 2, only for your lease to possibly change terms, losing all of the time you put into building your brand.
