What is it with you people ?. You invest large sums of money in a property, but can't /won't spend a few hundred to go over there and sort out the furnishings yourself ?. Please don't tell me you haven't got the time. If that really is the case then just send all your money to me and I will come up with a " can't lose , guaranteed, luxury development, rental guarantee of, say 10% (actually, whatever I need to get the sale) for, oh, as many years as sounds good. When it all goes tits up, simply come on a forum like this and start bleating, "Well, the agent promised.......". Harsh ?. Yes. Realistic ?. Yes !.
