Furnished Single Family Rentals?

[Charles Clark]

Would like to get some thoughts on furnished single family rentals.

From other Q&A here, I have gotten the impression that some value add is probabally going to be required to find anything that I can reliably cash flow from the start. One way to do this (at least in my mind) is through furnishing.

I am planning on a house hack setup to start with, furnishing the rented room for hopefully a small boost in rental income. But when I convert to a full single family rental I am likely to have the place essentially furnished, and I am wondering what the market looks like for furnished single family homes versus unfurnished?

Those that I have seen are usually advertised as short term rentals at considerably elevated rents, but how long are people interested in renting a furnished house like that versus having a blank slate?

Also, what does property management look like for something like this, assuming I am not around to handle it myself?
