This includes landscaping and outdoor space if possible.

@Bruce Woodruff had a dog house, I had a cat house...27 cats, the owner walked away to another house up the street, leaving dishes on the kitchen table and all furniture.

And we have furniture we can leave in the house. 

The property has clean but old wooden furniture, a nice china set, clothes, etc.

All of them gave the same pitch: waive security and first month rent because they have to invest in furnitures. 

If the loft area reasonably accommodates both pieces of furniture and still provides a living area that flows, why not?  

Furniture and amenities, cleaning and turnover expenses, and maintenance and repairs are examples of variable expenditures.Mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance, property management fees, utilities, upkeep, and repairs are examples of fixed costs.

During this time I am working in parallel to order appliances, furniture and trying to time deliveries.

Many of the quads are brick, the stairwells are usually larger (helpful in getting a fridge or furniture up), and you just have a more solidly built structure to work with. 

The miasma of your smoking (even outdoors) lingers indoors and sets in for people whose sense of smell isn't trained to ignore the stench.
