Please note that in some markets realtors are REQUIRED to disclose if virtual staging has been used.Box Brownie did a fantastic job in using appropriately sized furniture for the size of the spaces we had them do per our instructions.Master Bedroom Before: After: Finished Basement Before: After: Finished Living Room (Sorry I don't have a before handy): Overall I was EXTREMELY pleased with Box Brownie's staging of our flip and we will definitely use them again.

The furniture stores only sell things to people just like yourself because there’s very few people that actually live here. 

My last purchase between the Palm Springs / Joshua Tree area was for $800k and $120k remodel and furnishing, will do $220k a year gross rents (I was hoping for more like $300k but the market has changed bigtime, like many).These larger properties have more overhead, I would encourage you to set your sights higher, especially in this market environment of diminishing prices and lower occupancy.Sounds like you have properties that cost $630k purchase (plus some upgrades, furnishings, furniture, etc, expenses) that gross $8k a month. 

I plan on purchasing a decent amount of furniture/supplies in 2023 to try and get it listed on Airbnb before 12-31-2023.

We’ve been buying furniture, sinks, etc. our worry is staying organized with receipts to keep track of progress,expenses and most importantly tax deductiblesQuestion: what software is best to use to keep track of everything  financial?

I spent the money on renewing old furniture and setting up a nice game room so income>expenses so far.

There were broken water pipes, broken heat pipes, ceiling and floor damage, carpet damage, furniture damage, etc, costs $46,000.If they had hot air heat, they could have turned the water off and drained the lines and would have had little or no damage.We often use a plumber to winterize, they drain the lines and blow out all the lines with compressed air and put RV antifreeze, non toxic in all the drains and toilets.

Look into the size of your property and see if there is demand before you commit to all that furniture and houseware. 

They only pay accommodation and furniture rental.
