Direct answer

10–15% of purchase price as a rule of thumb for a 2–3BR.

Expanded explanation

Quality drives 5-star reviews which drive booking velocity. Cutting furnishing costs is the most common new-investor mistake. Buy commercial-grade where high-traffic.

Examples

  • $300k cabin × 12% = $36k furnishing budget.
