Perhaps work directly with a local furniture store that will deliver and put the furniture where you want it?

We have always gone with higher end furniture.

Austin is a great market for co-living (rent by the room) and price points for rooms can vary depending on certain variables (furniture, how many bathrooms, utilities included, length of stay, location).   

@Andy Nguyen the only downside is that you have to be very selective on which apartments, some landlords try to charge you more a month because you are doing airbnb and then you can't justify the margins after furniture, insurance, etc etc.

Hi Kasey,  What creative ways do you finance furniture for STR or MTR's?

You can hustle it, get killer deal on lease, do all work yourself, source used furniture, etc.

., the first month I own the unit I will be working on it (over 100 hours for sure), painting, buying & placing furniture & finishings, getting permits and inspections etc....and then hand over to the PM.  

So if I were to put ~$12K worth of renovations to the studio (new kitchen counter tops, cabinets, furniture, paint) and based on my research, I should be able to rent the place to a mid-term renter for $1,000-$1,300 per month (+$300-$600 more than what it is now).So based on my situation, these are the current option I am thinking of:a) Lowest Level of Effort: Bump my tenant's rent by $150 with no renovations or value adds to the unit.

I am also in the healthcare field, I provide space planning and furniture solutions to hospitals and MOB's.
