Thought it was good value after tracking the neighborhood for awhile, offered just below list and asked for the fridge, dining room table/chairs and all outdoor patio furniture/TV.

The city doesn’t do large furniture collection and I have to get someone to haul that away.

I have moved all my personal belongings and furniture out.

Once you get a judgement you will be surprised how man indivulaes show up down the road trying to clear it from their record.Many landlords have tenants return years later to pay up so they can move on with their lives, buy a house, get a car or furniture loan etc.

Dont cheap out when it comes to updates, decor/furniture & pictures.

I too think western NC is pretty great for what you're looking for, in part because there are many free outdoor opportunities, some of which are available rather year round.

Force fitting commodity hospitality assets into normal single family homes is what's risky bc it's so easy for John Doe and Joe Schmo on the same street to do the sameRemember that a hotel room is an STR ... so is a luxury villa with full staff and in-house chef in the French Alps ... and so is your basic 3b/2ba Airbnb listing in Normal-ville USA (sparingly furnished with IKEA furniture).

I was also able to work out additional rehab work (including outdoor living space and updates) with my contractor on a trade agreement for marketing consulting.

The point is, prevention is much less costly than remediation...you do not want to have repetitive service calls for multiple minor issues after someone moves in, when they should have been addressed during the turnover.Also, a lot of people have poor imaginations, and find it difficult to envision their furniture in a space that is already furnished and cluttered.

We are out-of-state investors and I've started to purchase furniture for this 3 bed/2 bath SFH.
