Thank you all so much for the warm welcomes! 

Thank you all for the very warm welcome and offers of help!  

Thanks for the warm welcome Michael S.!

In the past I've brought a few LED utility lights (or shop lights will work) to bounce light in the room to help it feel more spacious.  4000-5000K temperature lights will help give you a daylight/office feel 2700K will generally give a nice warm cozy feel.Good luck with the rental!

Furniture not required but curtains, towels, dishtowels, throw pillows, etc will make the home look warm and lived in.

If they specifically requested it, do it and pay for it to make them feel warm and fuzzy.  

Also they have a drawback or two: 1) they don't work under 18 degrees (which I assume it reaches in Colorado :-) and you'll need to install a separate 50A circuit with  electric strip assist...2) they don't really warm the interior air the way many people prefer, they blow out cool-feeling air instead of hot air like a typical FAU system.

I have been to Singapore... and your description is right on.. we are staying at the millinum the one with the ship built on top of it.. and the longest infinity pool in the world and I think the highest off the ground  :)I could see living in Thailand for those that like the beachs and water.. its pretty great.. warm clear sand is like baking powder.. 

This means that no matter what kind of property you invest in, you can be sure to have buyers waiting.The wealthy come to experience the warm climate while lower-income immigrants come in search of a more affordable living.

And our snow season in NC is variable - if long-term trends are an indication, it's declining as the region warms in winter.
