Read thru the posts on the STR, MTR, and Outdoor Hospitality forum onBP, and similar on other social media to create a contact list of those posters that are active in this space. 

But he walked away and left EVERYTHING, from furniture to clothing, and everything else.

Indoor versus outdoor.  

Being intentional with design — putting money to the side to pay a professional designer, buy furniture and accessories — can be all the difference in a 5 star listing or a 2 star listing.

Typically, you want your monthly rent for a mid-term rental to be twice the traditional long-term rental rate to cover the higher vacancy, furniture costs, and utilities.I live in Santa Fe myself, and would be happy to discuss specifics about the market.Jens 

I’d first ask CMHA locally how they’ll view the change, mock up furniture in both layouts, and only convert units where the rent bump outweighs cost and potential market shrink.

The financial viability of the strategy is maximized when a Cost Segregation Study can allocate a high percentage of the purchase price to short-life assets (like furniture and fixtures), leveraging the current 100% Bonus Depreciation to create a substantial "paper loss" in the first year.To use the 100% Bonus Depreciation against your 2025 W2 income, the STR and its eligible assets must be fully "placed in service" by December 31, 2025.

I do not have a lot of cash flow in general, so I would be taking an interest free credit card to pay for the furniture and if I evened out for a year then started making profit that would be great.
