Harshal I’d definitely look at the DATA before you start furnishing this thing! In College Station the guest you’re designing for + WHEN they travel there matters a lot. I’d pull the top performing 3BR comps around you and look at what is actually driving their ADR/occupancy… sleeping capacity, game day/group functionality, amenities, outdoor space, design, SCROLL STOPPING MOMENTS!, etc. Then build the design around that rather than just furnishing an LTR and putting it on Airbnb. You already have a pretty blank canvas which can be a GOOD thing haha! Send me the property/listing + your STRIQ report if you have one! Happy to look at it and give you a couple thoughts on where I’d prioritize the dollars before you start buying things.

The fact that it’s unfurnished could actually be a BIG opportunity here, especially if someone is underwriting toward that $30k+ end of the range. Before buying a single piece of furniture I’d want to reverse engineer what the highest performing nearby STRs are doing differently… guest avatar, sleeping capacity, amenities, design, SCROLL STOPPING MOMENTS!, etc. There’s a big difference between just furnishing the house and intentionally designing it to compete with the top performers. Chase if you have the listing/photos + STRIQ comps, send them over! Happy to take a look and give you a couple thoughts on where I’d focus the design/amenity dollars. Could also help a potential buyer better understand the upside here.

@Julia Raizen It depends on what you mean by remodel. Are you talking full gut job or just cosmetic rehab? Adding any sqft? Does that include all new furniture and amenities? All that said, I second @Emily Fournier, it does seem high. You may be able to do this for less.... Lets setup a time to chat. I am a contractor in Texas and my wife is an interior designer. I also have a construction estimating software that knows how to adjust based on location within the USA. I think I can help you make sense of these numbers and narrow it down a bit more. send me a DM or an email - [email protected] (NOT .COM)

@Julia Raizen check DM, just sent it

@Emily Fournier yes! Address is on the flyer.

@Matt Sanderson it 3 bed 2.5 bath. It does have a garage. Small backyard but can still do amenities with proper design and space planning Definitely a transitioning area which means appreciation should be strong!

The full meal is almost ready to share. Should have more details very soon
