Why do some landlords waste money furnishing rentals?

Why do investors keep over styling their properties like they're selling Kim kardashians holiday house. Tenants don't care about your aesthetic, they care about comfort, durability, and whether the furniture will survive a year without falling apart. Honestly feels like half the money people blow on furnishing is wasted. A solid bed, a decent sofa, and a table that doesn't wobble are all anyone really wants. The rest just makes landlords feel fancy while tenants are the ones dealing with flimsy junk. So what's the play here? & Go cheap and replace as needed? Or spend big upfront hoping it lasts? And does furnishing actually move the needle on rent, or is it just another investor delusion? Keen to hear some experiences because everyone I've spoken to swears their way is the only way.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
