lol damn that's clever.

This past week someone took pictures of chipped paint in a linen closet and dirty baseboards - in the garage!

Since the building is already operating as an STR, the upfront "refresh" costs (new linens, fix a TV or two, etc) are low, approximately $20k.

Or Cody Sperber with Clever Investors?

Think beyond just cleaning—offer package delivery prep, staging, small restocking, or even linen rental for STR owners.

On average, you might spend: $3,000–$8,000 for furniture and décor for a small house$500–$1,000 for essentials like linens, cookware, and suppliesOther possible costs: professional photos, smart locks, cleaning supplies, STR permit (if required in your area)  2.

These properties are completely furnished from top to bottom (furniture, linens, cookware, etc.) 

Besides the down payment, you’ll need to put out many thousands on any remodeling or repairs needed, furniture, kitchen gear, linens, and every little thing for this house.
