The home was mostly turnkey, but we painted the interior and exterior (we always wanted a black home) and provided all new light fixtures and furniture.

Btw- I have a 2016 home- 3bed, 2.5 bath, second living room upstairs, 2 car garage, large fenced-in yard, covered porch with patio furniture, and more-- so I think it is a pretty desirable listing! 

I created COGS accounts to match the line items on IRS form 8825 to keep it simple but most of my transactions so far don’t seem to align with them (things like tool purchases, furniture and light fixtures, and a wall divider capital project).4. ...

It was definitely a gamble, because I was assembling furniture up until the night before their check-in :o I only had an opportunity to advertise on FF, because it was the first place we posted and it got enough inquiries right away.

Furnishing will be determined by how nice of furniture you want to use. 

If it is in a true vacation market most furniture companies will come deliver and setup. 

Choose weather-resistant furniture and add some colorful cushions for extra comfort.

Require blinds are opened and furniture is away from walls to help with circulation. 4.

I should add that any PPE (property, plant equipment) i.e. real estate, computers, office furniture, vehicles, etc etc would be in addition to the 2-3x SDE if the whole business is sold.

I was VERY watchful on deals to be had on everything without going bottom of the barrel to setup.I scoured Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp looking for USA made used furniture.
