How to furnish a two bedroom apartment with $5000
We recently purchased a 4-unit apartment building in Southern Maine. We are planning to furnish one of the apartments for short-term rentals, but don’t have a big budget for furnishings. Here’s exactly how I furnished an entire 2-bedroom apartment with only a $5,000 budget, and how you can do the same! (and remember, I do get a small commission if you buy anything using links from this blog post!).
