I don't mean garbage that all fits into individual garbage bins, I am talking about large packaging cartons, furniture, or other things that require a pickup.

Executive Stay Hotel Housing Equivalent (ballpark $70-150/night), long apartment would rent for about 50% or less of STR fees (however the fees also pay for utilities, basic consumables, and furniture deterioration).

So assuming the two units at 1,250 a month are you accounting for replacing furniture and items in the unit over time?

I also tend to think STR owners put TOO MUCH FURNITURE in a bedroom. 

Stock it with furniture and appliances, stock it with the little things and give it some nice touches.

We rented a mansion on the beach for $6,000 a month out of foreclosure that needed about $20k in TLC + furniture, and we negotiated 3 free months of rent. 

But we've been wanting to experiment with STR and Furniture Market, a huge worldwide event happens nearby in April and we knew we could jack up our prices so we did.

now I'm happy some people involve in this topic, I don't know anything about real estate in USA, a little far for me, I haven't visited it also, difficult to get a visa, also not cheap for me to visit this country, so I put my point in southeast countries, after visiting these countries, I compared with Chinese real estate, now in china, esp some big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou , Shenzhen etc, very expensive to invest, so when I found the market in southeast countries cheaper than in china, thats why, I began to invest one in Bangkok in 2014, after I got my condo in 2015, I bought the furniture package, I rent it out every year, I found a good profit, about 6 percent returns, another one in Pattaya for holidays, still not finished, anyway compared Thailand and Philippines, all have advantages and disadvantages, just depend on u, now the price in Bangkok is a little high, if only investing, I think Manila is better than bangkok, more return in rental!

I‘m under water on a couch, a chair and an ottoman from Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Just last week a 4/2 came on the market here that the yard was a construction type junk yard, didn’t appear to have vehicles where you’d have to worry about oil and fuel leaks and the house was kind of a hoarder situation but just old furniture and building stuff not like pet waste and terribly disgusting stuff.
