What's a realistic STR furnishing budget?

Direct answer

$10–25k per 2-bed unit for guest-grade quality, longer life, higher reviews.

Expanded explanation

Cheap furniture costs more over time: replacement every 18–24 months vs 5 years for mid-grade. Reviews suffer.

Examples

• $15k furnishing on $300k STR: 5% of cost, 5-yr payback.
