I’ve been reading a lot about rolling up closing costs, as well as costs of new furniture into my mortgage.

Primarily I build custom furniture, as far as the home improvement side: general home repair (doors, drywall, paint etc).  

I only have leather like living room furniture as well, less penetrating material, easier to sterilize and clean.

You really need tenants with nice furniture that live clean and are very cooperative.

When they left on July 17 they said she would be back to following day for her furniture and boxes that filled up the entire garage.

Is it really worth spending an hour of your time to sell that piece of equipment with a resale value of 75$ or furniture that takes up 8 square feet and sits around on craigslist for 3 months before it sells?

The only risk we really have is the $75,000 in furniture we own.

I wouldn’t say they trashed the place, they just didn’t take their broken furniture with them.I would make sure you understand the laws before doing this yourself (although a PM).

The same unit the rooms yield me $1,600, but I had to buy furniture and I have to pay utilities (about $200 per month average).

For example, in a single family home, he would offer $200,000 with furniture instead of just the $200,000 on the MLS.
