However, I don't think there's a big demand for only half-furnished places -- homes with furniture but no silverware.

Otherwise, i THINK the technical answer is to treat it like a business startup (e.g. an office or restaurant needing to buy furniture), and there is a way to account for that --- I just don't know it.  

I use my car for shopping for properties and furniture!

any fundamental structural ideas you would use to reduce usage of furniture?

Otherwise, people in that price range typically have their own furniture and want to use it. 

They would be inconvenienced by having to move their furniture to have new carpet placed wouldn’t they? 

I was ~ $12k all in with furniture, security deposit, first month rent and maxing out my personal credit cards to get it ready with photos.That $12k provided me with an airbnb profiting me $1.4k/mo in profit.

Flooring, and kitchen/bath furniture - and I'm done!

So, this daughter has no money and a ton of junk furniture and called Code on me for what?

@Patrick Liska the furniture is part of the property and therefore covered under damages in the lease and because they are student rentals, parents are co-signing on our rentals so ultimately a responsible adult is held accountable.
