Object Requirements

Add:
Everything added should be as cheap as possible.

  • Scandinavian Furniture
  • Single beds
  • 2 Sofas
  • TV (Monitor works best, as it's considered a TV and is the cheapest)

Remove:

  • Expensive Furniture
  • Decorations
  • If the Smoth Family is outbidding him, remove the kitchen.

Recommended Properties

  • Variable woman's house - Eliminate all roaches, sell all furniture (not fixtures) except coffee table, add couch and tv (Monitor).
  • Just married's house - Don't clean, remove kitchen pieces, install 1st floor bathroom fixtures, add tv (Monitor).
  • Hucksters House
  • Family House - Clean everything. Turn one of the upstairs bathrooms into a sauna (benches, heater, door was all I needed). Delete the double bed and the couch upstairs. Replace with cheap single bed (must say single bed). Delete everything out of the upstairs bedrooms besides the bed. He instantly jumped to the top.

Like Dislike
"I think the tenants will like a TV in the house." "For some reason, people love to watch TV, so it would be nice to have one in the house."
"It's nice, that there is at least one sofa." "Elegant, no trash."
"I want to rent this house to two people, so it would be great if they will have a place to sleep." "I want to rent this house to two people but there is only one bedroom..."
"Four bedrooms? Well, well! Now four people move in!" "So many places to sleep... People will not want to live with so many housemates."
"Tenants values two bathrooms." "Homes for rent should have a MINIMUM of two bathrooms."
"Two sofas are perfect." "Whoever heard of a house without sofa?"
"I think a kitchenette in the living room would definitely be a good idea." "Expensive items in a house for rent is a bad idea. What if tenants damage them?"
