Not sure why he thought showing marginal art work would get him a listing. 

You usually have to add furniture, linens, cookware, artwork and such.

You know, travel insurance, art work, local restaurants, special cake delivery, laundry service (for their kids at college), car service, special events, etc...etc.I know someone who is hiring a full time person to manage just this aspect (so, it will cover their salary plus make money). 

The drinks and the dinner will be long forgotten, but some nice artwork framed and on the wall will last for a very long time.

All my artwork would go, along with the suit of armor and the full size Marilyn Monroe display.I would leave the beds, vacuum cleaner, charcoal grill, cable/wifi service, washer/dryer, the gym equipment, all my adult oriented artwork that has my contact information on it (calendars of scantily clad women doing construction work).They would need to pay the gas, elec, water, trash, sewer. 

If a City paid for his artwork, that should be easy enough to find out.

Are there any tips or suggestions for choosing wall hangings or artwork for a living room in a short term rental property?

@Brian Eastman I do plenty of IT work for her and other various things like artwork for her materials and scanning and prepping PDFs, since she is not very tech savvy.

for quirky things, furniture, dishes, art work....

I'm most worried about the fact that without proof of some of my antiques and artwork, I won't get anywhere near what my contents are worth.
