Furnished Apartments: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

Furnished apartments appeal to a range of tenants, however the most common types of people are either students, people traveling or those looking for a temporary housing situation until they settle into their new home.
Furnished apartments are appealing to anyone who plans to stay in town long enough to want more than a hotel room, but may not stay more than a year and are not immediately interested in owning property. This could be anyone from a relative who doesn’t want to impose on their family to a businessperson managing projects over a few months, or a student who is fresh out of the dorms with very little furniture, or one who has travelled far to attend school and didn’t want to bring a U-Haul full of belongings. The last thing these students need is to go into debt from having to furnish an apartment all at once.
