Similar to other shared household items - furniture is extremely difficult for new roommates to procure and pay for together. The owner providing this is another affordable bonus that drastically increases the appeal of HomeRoom houses over other properties.
What Sort of furniture & appliances should I provide it? In our experience - high-end used furniture from estate sales is THE best option. If you can find a local designer to procure and install for a flat price that’s even better. ($2-$3K should be enough here)
For washer and dryer - we particularly like used washer & dryers from the Kenmore 90-series (~$400 delivered)
Refrigerator: we recommend new (without water or ice dispensers) from HomeRoom Depot (delivered ~$700)
There are three areas that HomeRoom requires furnished
Living room: Should have seating for all future tenants, some interior design touches, and a TV
Dining room: Seating for all potential future roommates
Appliances: HomeRoom requires owners to provide the following appliances
