An idea for staging yourself is renting furniture groupings and even accessories.

We scrambled around town looking for deals and using a few personal items, like a bedroom set with an old mattress the we repurposed for the staging with new linens, some new items like a sectional and table, and rugs and accessories we borrowed and bought.  

And just to be more ambitious, this is the list of everything I want to do:- Clean all the junk and debris from the house and yard and demo the shed in back- Replace the roof and fix the gutters/soffits- Landscaping- Replace all the windows with double-pane vinyl windows- Replace all the floors in the house (ceramic tile for the kitchen/bath/laundry room, and vinyl plank for the living room and the upper level)- Re-do the bathroom with new everything -- plumbing, tub, shower surround, floor, sink/faucet, toilet, mirror, accessories- Re-do the kitchen with new cabinets, counter tops, and sink/faucet- Paint the entire interior (white ceilings, beige for walls, white for trim)- Replace all the light fixtures, outlets, and switches- Replace the front and back doors and put in new locks- Add smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors as required- Finish off the upper level (that was begun by someone else)I want my rehab budget to stay at or under $30,000 and I want to complete everything within 2 months from closing. 

SFR, SFR with Accessory unit. or multi family.  

Hope you enjoy the trips to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and places like that for home accessories more than I did. 

about to make an offer on a nicely updated home in Seattle with a nice accessory dwelling unit / mother in law apartment. 

I rented out an in-law apartment for years, but it was in a residential area that was zoned to allow "accessory units"

Second largest tourist town in the South east behind Orlando.. and all these jobs stimulate accessory jobs.WE are KILLING it in SC..... why you would go anywhere else? 

That and fire-rating the ceiling and common walls between the basement {accessory} apartment and the main house.  

My condo has not appreciated and I need to perk it up with new accessories and small furniture if I continue to rent furnished.Does anybody have good experience with executive short term rental housing and whether the payoff with a furnished unit is better than unfurnished?
