3, If one does decide to redecorate with new furnishings from someplace like Bargains and Treasures, what is the cost of redoing the living space.
I was wondering if anyone has bought one of these homes and had to or felt the need to redocorate with furnishings more to their liking. I am a guy, but I have a good eye for decorations as I like neutral colors with a splash of other colors to offset my living areas.
I am curious as to what method is best. Whether one should buy a turn-key, furnished or empty home with no furnishings and start from stratch.

2 years ago we bought a turn key villa without seeing it. True we had a good idea of where it was located and it had plenty of photos on the selling plan. We also wanted to rent it out as well as staying there twice yearly.
Perhaps we were lucky because we found it exceeded our expectations
The first year we let it thro TV rentals and they are very fussy about the inventory in their homes - apart from an emergency light and a fire extinguisher we had to spend about $50 on minor items
Dont forget that many new homes do not have all the white goods you may require and may not have ceiling fans
