Students frequently bring their own mattresses, but no bed, dresser or desk.  

Way better than getting a door with a veneer over engineered wood - pretty much non repairable if a dog scratches the daylights out of it, someone bangs their dresser into it when moving and dings the heck out of it etc -- solid jams can be repaired easily and the hardness of oak will take WAY more abuse.   

Heck, I might even furnish the upstairs with a few twin beds and a dresser and desk.  

I was looking specifically for dressers, which IMO are the toughest item to shop on a budget for, and good brands are already expensive so they seem that charge in line with that.

Glad they pay their own water bill.They broke an outlet by jamming their dresser against the wall, against a plug, and broke the connection.

Basically you fit a twin, a small dresser, and that's it.That's why I wondered about just creating a half bath.  

This really isn't that difficult when you stand your ground and remind the tenants who the real home owner is.Tell them that you are going to schedule open houses and they are responsible for removing their valuables and/or locking them up in the closet or off the premises.The realtor will escort each buyer throughout the property so there really isn't anything to worry about as long as they keep their valuables out of sight.No one is going to open their dresser drawers or touch their clothes and stuff with an escort watching them.Never let a tenant dictate anything to you ever.

I furnish the house with the stuff they need for living like beds and dresser drawers etc, then play property manager and get the lawn then care of and such.

No bottom bunk and a large dresser in it's place.
