Before you start purchasing a ton of furniture, and getting a warehouse to store it all in, you want to understand your commitment to your staging career. Do you want to spend 10+ or 20+ years doing this? Because then, you can justify the expense of purchasing your own furniture to rent out to your clients. However, if you are doing this as a side gig, or are adding it to your portfolio as a real estate agent, it may be a smarter decision just to rent. When it comes to purchasing your own furniture, you do have the liability of insuring your products, finding the right warehouse so it's well protected, and always figuring out pick-up and delivery dates. Where as with rentals, delivery comes with your rental.
