Cost of furnishings - luckily in our market the majority of properties come fully turnkey meaning, I write my contracts like so: Personal Property included with the sale, any furniture, décor, lamps, kitchen and household wares, linens, electronics, appliances, all patio and deck furniture, fire pits, hot tubs, rugs, currently located at the residence at no additional value.  

Or if your family needs new furniture and it lines up with what you need for staging, buy it for staging a house, then bring it home! 

I like trying to build furniture and such (from scratch, not from Ikea).

I purchased a condo that was newly renovated including walls, floors, appliances, counters, and furniture.

For example :-The type that insisted on going to the out of state liberal arts school and racked up $150,000 in student loan debt while acquiring their degree in English literature-Your neighbor that have two $40,000+ new cars in the driveway while saying it is way to risky to invest in real estate because you could lose money-Your friends that time boasting about all their 0% financing on their furniture then forget to pay the balance offPeople on BP tend not to be in these categories.    

There were dog feces and urine everywhere on the old wood floors in addition to trash, old furniture, clothes, and appliances. $1500 to clean up and worth every penny.

Some property furniture staging and just having it extra clean will often do the trick.

Blank canvas so decor and furniture will pop and not clash.gray is on the way out for sure  

I am going to list a few details for both from a real estate agent that I trust and she will be my property manager. she has been in the short term rental market for over 8 years and is recommended by friends. 1) Short term rental income (1478$/month)Furniture investment 6k$90$/nightThe average occupancy rate is 80% but could go as high as 98%.the management fee is 20% of the incomeUtilities and wifi fees are 250$Income = 90 $/night x30 nights x 0.8 (occupancy rate) x 0.8 (management fees) – 250$ (utilities and wifi)Income = 1478$/month2.

You can post the pictures without furnishings to see if you have any interest as a medium term rental on furnishedfinder.comJust indicate that when they rent it from you it will be furnished.You will have to pay their listing fee but it’s better than buying $6K in furniture without any demand.
