First Airbnb Furnishing
Hey BP! I'm closing on our next property at the beginning of August. It's a unique property in that it's a SFH with a full in-law suite in the basement (2 bed/2 bath with full kitchen) and a separate addition that can be blocked off and used as a private room STR.
The private room will have a bedroom, full bathroom, office space, and coffee bar/hot plate.
With this being my first STR, could you take a look at my prices below and let me know if they're a fair estimate? I plan on filling in the actuals as I go and seeing how things vary. These prices are for a bedroom, bathroom, office, and coffee bar.

My furniture is a lot more expensive than you have down. I bought used Tommy Bahama for my beach side rental. Also bought new leather couches from a discount place, which I am replacing now. And new from LaZBoy, which has a great warranty, but is waaaaaay more expensive. This is the problem with a list like yours...what finish are you after? What materials? What is the price point in the market? I have a low house, a medium house and a luxury house.
My sheets for a King bed at Sam's Club are about $80. I use a bed bug protector, zip up variety, on all pillows and on each mattress. Then a mattress pad, and then sheets. Very light weight, quick dry comforters. You need hand towels, wash cloth and large size towels, 2 for each guest or more.
Kitchen, you need pots and pans, cutlery, glasses, wine glasses, coffee cups. A knive set, spatulas...oh so much more. Lamps. Smoke detectors. Rugs.
