The property comes turn key with all linens, silverware, pans, furniture etc so that is a plus.

I think super clean and location beats staging.As clean as can be, and in an area clsss c renters like to be in, near a major grocery store, near pawn shops, 24/7 fast food, buy here pay here car dealers, rent to own furniture, paycheck cashing, 24/7 Auto Zone, big buffets-chinese or american, or pizza, (((welding schools))).

Broken furniture, a 1998 32-inch TV that weighs 317 pounds, hangers, some old eggs and an empty pizza box in the fridge, nothing cleaned, etc.

I would like to know whether I can use some of the proceeds (tax free, or more accurately deferred taxes) of the property I am selling to buy furniture, new kitchen of the new property that will be rented as a furnished income property?

Never ever open a "financed card" like the ones that offer furniture with no payments for x months - that hurts score, looks needy.

All it needs is furniture to see a big boost in income.

Don't sit on his furniture...skip shaking hands. 

The only category already built is furniture and equipment.

This is what I use in all my properties, once their staged and on the market (don't want anyone stealing the furniture):http://lasershield.net/There's no reason you couldn't use it in your properties from the time you take possession.You don't need a phone line...they have a wireless interface that will call you if there is a break-in, and if you don't respond (or don't want to disable the alarm when it calls you), their monitoring center will notify the police.Luckily, I've never had a real alarm, but the couple times an agent has entered a house without calling ahead, I got proof that this system works just as expected.

Additionally, it is no longer good enough to have a nice house with furniture so focus on design that can distinguish yourself but also you must add amenities.
