As @Allen Duan mentioned, construction workers can be really, really hard on your property - both indoors and outdoors.

I seriously doubt it.Don't finance any furniture until after you close.

Furniture - although you'll be able to get it more cheaply en masse - a lot of furniture and towels, fixtures, etc. will need replacement more often3.

One place we looked at had such a tight stairway you could barely get any furniture to the upper units.

These expenses may include the cost of furniture, appliances, linens, and other items needed for the unit.

The property has some nice things going for it like the pool and club house, balcony and outdoor sitting area and the quiet location.

I know even Cort furniture will “rent” furniture to you. 

I work at a Wayfair call center and receive the occasional call from people buying furniture for their rentals or others who need door knobs and pulls for houses they are building and selling.Over the past month or two I have been receiving significantly more phone calls from people who are furnishing condos to rent.

If you have a home you normally rent for one year at a time, unfurnished and without utilities, you can easily add furniture, include the utilities, and rent it for less than a year but longer than 30 days.

Everything is going to be time-adjusted except for maybe some non-basis closing costs and a cost segregation depreciation factor, and of course anything you actually spend money on like furniture and the like.
