Single Bedroom - Furnished or Unfurnished?

[Kayla Davis]

Hi All,

I'm purchasing a SFH where I'll be doing some "House Hacking", namely renting out all the spare bedrooms. I'm trying to find the best strategy for renting my rooms.

For any potential renters looking for a single bedroom, what is best?

A furnished room that comes with the basics: a bed, night stand and lamp.

An unfurnished room where you can move in all your own stuff.

There are places that will let you rent furniture to show how the room can be set up or how the space should be used and you can give them the option of whether or not they want to keep the furniture. It wouldn't be like a rent to own store like Aaron's. It's more of a showcase store.
