Developers often pitch furniture packages as a quick and easy way to get your new property rental-ready. But are they really worth the $35,000 price tag … or are you just paying for convenience?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew dig into a real example of a $35k furniture pack for a Queenstown townhouse and compare it against what you’d spend furnishing the same property yourself.
You’ll learn:
- What’s actually included in a $35k furniture package (and how much the same items cost from mainstream retailers)
- The 3 simple tests to tell if a furniture pack is good value … or a rip-off
- When it makes sense to pay for convenience, and when you’re better off doing it yourself
If you’re considering a New Build or an Airbnb property, this episode gives you the framework to make sure you’re not overpaying for “extras.”
