But at this point we'd probably be looking at purchasing a place and listing it without ever seeing the place in person (pre-covid we had planned to make one trip out after purchase to get the place set up).Are there any PM companies that would potentially handle stuff like furniture deliveries/setup, keeping the place stocked, etc but would take a smaller cut if we handle the front end bookings and whatnot? 

Last purchase (which is going to end up being our house) was through a former neighbor who lives across the street and the owner passed, and the grown daughter was cleaning it out on the weekends.Not a direct route, but a friend of mine owns a vintage furniture store.  

I am not trying to buy my way into another job outside of my 9-5.If the offer is accepted, we are ready to purchase all necessary furniture / etc that would make our home as comfortable as possible.I have personally used Airbnb on 11 different occasions, and never use hotels anymore.

I think furniture would be OK, but keep in mind that if you have something in the house, it must work.

I think they buy a lot of furniture and electronics on credit, and it’s easy I think for something to get missed.

So, I've looked at many REOs and they have all had the Appliances removed; I always assumed that the previous owners took them to salvage what they could before the foreclose.Recently there was a property in my neighborhood that was being foreclosed on and when the tenants moved out some contractors came in to clean it out; I noticed that not only did they clear out the furniture and other items left behind they also removed all the fairly new appliances from the property as well.I don't understand why the bank would do this...

That doesn't mean they are all my style, but most of them are painted in neutrals and you can easily make them your own once you add your own furniture. 

Took out all of the carpet, restored all of the old hardwood floors underneath, bought nice leather furnishings and blended them with functional antiques, placed a beautiful antique persian rug in the living room, replaced all lighting with early 1900s look.  

For irregular items or situations such as if you are renting a room instead of the whole property, or you are including furniture or you have special restrictions, just make sure your lease has an open text box (or you add one) so that you can type in exactly what those special situations are; EX: Tenant has access to and rents from Landlord Rm #: XX ONLY; common area may be used by Tenant but per Landlord's sole discretion. --- Alternatively, you may also include an attachment/amendment rider to the lease for these items. 

Bedrooms with furniture and linens.
