Baseboard heat is riskier from a fire safety viewpoint because tenants often put objects too close to electric heaters or disable them because they want to place furniture where the heater is.

Clean out old furniture/belongings and refurnish what's been cleared out4.

This eviction is my first time on this route with a note, and am open to suggestions from people who have taken this road before.I've coordinated with a business that will provide a locksmith and will put them in contact with the sheriff in order for the locksmith to meet at the same time.I'm debating on whether to offer $500 to $1,000 through my attorney to the occupant, the former borrower, to remove all furniture and personal belongings and not damage / vandalize the house.I will have people there to move out the furniture to the sidewalk if the occupant leaves the house a mess.I will have people there to secure the property against squatters.I will have an appraiser there to appraise the inside of the house.Finally, I will have buyers there to look inside and make me an offer.   

We put money out of our pocket to run Airbnb, like buying furniture, landscaping, repairs, etc.

They have no furniture at all. 

We are between renting it or selling the property in 8-10 years.We are currently flipping furniture, yes you heard that right, furniture in our spare time, in most cases we buy on marketplace then refinish it and resell it, to help save more toward our real estate investing path.I want to increase my knowledge in real estate investing for another year before going into the first flip, as well as watch the market/economy to time the right buy.My personal real estate goals as of right now, is to either wholesale or flip properties to build more revenue up, then invest in rentals, 1-3 flips -> buy a rental, and cycle this until we have 10-15 properties similar to the millionaire real estate investors model.End goal with real estate is to have the cash flow to retire before 50, and have our networth over 1.5 million.Looking forward to soaking in valuable information related to real estate for years to come, possibly contributing to the BP community as my understanding grows, as well as growing financially!

The STR eats up a ton of your time and money: buying furniture, staging it, getting professional photos for AirBNB, managing the AirBNB inquiries and reservations, responding to guest complaints and reviews, cleaning and re-stocking the unit after each stay (or managing and paying for a cleaner/re-stocker), switching lock codes after every stay, etc., etc.

It didn't look that bad full of furniture, but now that it's an empty space, all of the defects really show.

It isn’t quite a month from closing, and the rest of the furniture will be delivered on Tuesday.  

A college student versus a family have very different needs for furniture and cookware and location.
