Women Invest in Real Estate WIIRE 046: 5 Ideas for Furnishing Your Midterm Rental
Hi, friends! We’re so excited to have you back! Mid-term rentals are by far our favorites at WIIRE and we have really refined our processes throughout our years in the business and one of the ‘fun’ aspects of owning mid-term rentals is of course, furnishing them! So in this episode were talking all about how to get creative when furnishing your MTRs without breaking the bank. Let’s dive in!
Our 5 golden rules to furnishing MTRs:
- Keep it cute, cozy and comfy.
- Select furniture that is easy to put together (or buy pre-assembled items off of Facebook Marketplace).
- Include a starter set of items people won’t want to run out and buy right away (think spices, dish soap, laundry detergent, trash bags, etc.).
- Choose easy to clean items (duvet covers, dark linens, mattress protectors, cushion covers, etc.)
- Miscellaneous! This is everything that doesn’t fit into an above category.
- Post your ‘house rules’ on the back of the front door (Wifi password, when garbage pickup is, door codes, etc)
- Thermostat + water reminders for when they are going to be our of the unit for several days
- Provide pet poo bags if you allow pets (you’ll thank us for this!)
- Have a keypad entry that allows a master code
- Include a washer and dryer, when possible
Two final thoughts on furnishing your MTRs is that keep it simple - you don’t need to provide luxury accommodations (unless that’s your specific niche) and also, remember that a little goes a long way.
If you have some unique ways you’ve furnished your properties we would love to hear them so shoot us a DM on Instagram!
