There are buyers that want specific room sizes....my furniture will only fit in a bedroom X x X size or larger, or I need a living room bigger than X x X. 

Dont expect to do well if you furnish it like a hotel (cheap, neutral furniture). 

That means cost-segregating the property, depreciating furniture, appliances, etc., and writing off a big chunk upfront.

Household furniture must be positioned and/or elevated to allow adequate air flow underneath and between furnishings and adjacent walls.

These shades can create a bright and airy atmosphere and will complement a variety of furniture styles and decor.For the cabinets, a classic white or a soft cream can provide a clean, timeless appeal.

Buying top of the line furniture and amenities for guests is another way to create the highest quality Airbnb.

Partially because you did not rent it for an entire year but mostly because of upfront expenses: getting it ready for rent, buying furniture, electronics, and other furnishings, stocking up on initial supplies, and so on.

Filled the house with high end beds/furniture/linens/kitchen appliances and so on.

Furniture stored and used outdoors should be outdoor furniture, not indoor upholstered items.Steps (front and rear) and sidewalks: should be clean, and free of hazards.

I request guests cover furniture and beds if pets get on them which is what I do myself when traveling.
