Furniture is the easiest place to regain control. Make only the rooms you will use immediately functional; empty bedrooms are not an emergency. Existing furniture, basic replacements and delayed purchases can bridge the first year.
The harder question is whether inspection work must happen...
Also ask whether availability means ready for viewings, ready for an offer, or expected to be vacant by a particular date. Those are not the same thing. A promising property may fit the budget and layout but still be useless if the timing does not match yours.
