Have you ever used furniture rental stores to supply your staging items?

That will depend upon your contracts.You should have okeyed the contract for rental OR supplied one to the PM for your renters and that contract stipulates what happens under this or that situation.Also you have a contract with your PM company which stipulates what they can do or authorize as far as renters, deposits, ect.Anything not covered in the rental agreements and or the PM agreement should be okeyed by you before it is done.

Hello all, I've discovered there are slight variables regarding different financing options in my area.

I know there could be many variable to this question however I'm just trying to get a general consensus 

Trading one debt for a higher priced debt with a variable interest rate doesn't seem like a good idea unless I'm missing something here. 

So become highly proficient at the other variables to mitigate your weakness.Any house can be fixed of you throw enough money at it.

Is the area experiencing a lot of changing factors and also how does the supply/demand factor play into it?

Until the supply issue is fixed, things are going to keep going up.

Many office supply stores have inexpensive forms and some books do too.  

Here's my proposed rehab schedule for a 3br/2ba in under 30 days: *I only use supplies in Stock.
