Hey @Eric Wagner, so we have furnished out our lake house with mostly USA made used furniture.You might be shocked to see the deals you can find if you take some time.

For MTR you can use FurnishedFinder.com to see what similar furnished rentals are going for in the area. 

The condo is fully furnished with 2 bedrooms, one of which has a large walk in closet and a dresser that takes up a whole wall.

Ok, so with a property like that where you are charging such a high amount, you will need to look into higher quality, higher style furnishings and linens.What most of us put into our STRs might not be right for a $1500+ per night rental.

We bought our primary residence together, btw.I have located an excellent deal for 120,000 euros that would require about 30,000 in renovations plus furnishings in order to rent the apartment out to students and AirBnb.

which includes heat, wifi, water, furnishings.  

Be sure to add in HOA fees, maintenance, furnishings and the second-home tax that SC carries in addition to your debt service. 

Again, I'm sure someone has a workaround but for most folks that are looking for a place they can buy, furnish and set up as a nightly rental, you're going to have to climb a mountain to get the property legal to do what you want to do. 8.

Have great furnishings and photos, answer guest questions quickly, and make sure to get those 5 star reviews right off the bat.

Add to the Down payment the amount paid for furnishings to come up with an ROI , cash on cash.
