To Showcase Direct for the furniture, mattress firm for the mattresses, best buy for the television, Kohls ect. For the rest. Did most of it in two days, but we need to wait for closing a week from Monday to have delivered. Fun to furnish a house in two days!

I have been looking at whole home packages for two bedroom homes and even though they start in the $8,000 range, I think for better quality we would realisitcally be in the $12,000-16,000 range as well.
We realize that if we get a pre-owned unfurnished property in the mid-$130,000's with the cost of furnishing it would be about the same cost as a new furnished home.
So, looking at the cost of a new patio villa at $143,000, a fully furnished home for $149,000 seems to be a real bargain, with only $6,000 added to pay for furnishings! Or am I missing something?
