What you're asking is the same thing as if you wanted to buy a car, and asked "how much should I save for a deposit on a new car"....and, saying "10 units, all 2 bed/1 bath, etc..." doesn't make it any easier than saying, "SUV, sunroof, big engine, black exterior, charcoal interior, leather, nice stereo, power seats, seat heaters, etc...".The only way of knowing is to find a property or two that might interest you, then find out how much they cost. 

The tenant has asked if she can have furniture delivered before Aug 1.

I wouldn't be bothered by sconces except they sometimes interfere with furniture placement. 

If you have to buy furniture put that in your calculation for short term rental cost to see if it makes financial sense.

*knocks on all the wood furniture in apt

We use our own furniture and art quite often.Hold an friends and agent open house to get people talking about it right before you list it We did this with our last flip and we had the house sold in 8 days.

It's got wood floors, new furniture in all rooms, game room, utilities all covered and cleaning service every 2 weeks.

I also forbid outdoor lawn storage, including outdoor furniture and storage sheds, in my lease.

Before my dad purchased it the building was used for a furniture storage warehouse.

It's not lived in, just and empty house with staged furniture.
