A furnished premium does not always translate to higher appraised value unless it is proven stabilized rent.If you want flexibility, you can:• Market it furnished at a premium• Offer unfurnished option at lower rent• Price the furniture separately as a monthly “furniture fee”That way you do not physically remove everything unless required.In most traditional long term rental markets, unfurnished wins on simplicity, durability, and scalability.Furnished can produce higher monthly revenue, but it is a different business model.
