As far as negotiating furniture, I would include “furnishings negotiable” or “comes furnished” in a contract.

. - Furniture & Decor  Roughly half of the STR's clients have acquired the past two years have been sold furnished.

Maybe suggest felt pads for furniture legs to reduce noise from moving chairs or tables.

Also claimed all the broken furniture was provided and not theirs so I got to take it all out.Occupied is a roll of the dice, a gamble you can not control.

It was super hot back in the day as a furniture building capital. 

(Furnish an STR with cast-off furniture and take cell-phone photos and see how well you do.) 

New modern lights and ceiling fans, quality furniture, Big screen TVs (not so expensive anymore), big washer and dryer, one of those cool refrigerators.If you ever go stay in a nice hotel or nice airbnbs, try to pick up on some of the things they do to make it feel luxurious. 

I want to pluck my own eyes out when a client buys a $1 million dollar Colorado cabin, spends $40k on furniture, and then throws up the listing with poorly lit cell-phone photos.

If the property does not close until spring of '25 do the hours spent furniture shopping in January still count?

It was already a MTR, listed on Furnished Finder, so we bought the furniture and furnishings too.
