Turn Basic Rentals Into Furnished Units for Extra Cash

Turn Basic Rentals Into Furnished Units for Extra Cash
Offering furnished upgrades can unlock a new level of income — even with just a few smart pieces.
Furnish It. Rent It. Profit More.
You don’t need to become a full-time short-term host to profit from furniture. Just offering furnished options — even partially — can earn you $150–$500/month more in rent. Here’s how to do it smartly:
1. Offer Light Furnishing Packages
A furnished bedroom, a work-from-home setup, or a turnkey living room can make your property stand out to relocators, traveling workers, or students. Don’t overdo it — think flexible, not fancy.
2. Keep It Modular
Use durable, modern furniture that’s easy to swap or replace. Stick to neutral styles and practical setups. If tenants decline the furniture, remove it for your next guest or listing.
3. Market It as a Premium Option
Always make the furnished version an opt-in upgrade. It keeps your base rent competitive — and attracts those who value convenience enough to pay more.
