Even a 115 volt 12,000 BTU should keep it well below 90 degrees. 

You can spend $1,000 and save a lot of time and filtering garbage, or you save $1,000 but spend a lot of time filtering through many resources of garbage.At the end of the day, like any guru course or even a college degree: you will hopefully learn something.  

YES to a degree I agree.

There are exceptions, but I would needs high degree of confidence that the unit is the exception before spending money to furnish.I will add that my long time STRs that have done great are only doing ok this year.  

Hello all,I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in International Real Estate and have 17 years of experience in the construction industry in my home country.

Most areas are seasonal to a degree.

Personally, I just communicate with my tenants that we keep the HVAC (in florida so rarely need the furnace) above 68 degrees at all times, and that it is best to keep the HVAC above 74 degrees during the hotter afternoons where the ambient temp is in the 90s.

I'll report back when it's 11 degrees and the sun sets at 3:45 PM in January, though.

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF.

That's how so much get's done so fast, with exceptional high degrees of accuracy and proficiency.
