Medium-term vs. long-term and furnished vs. not?
I will be moving out of state but would like to keep my primary residence as a rental.
I was contemplating leaving all the furniture and setting up a "room share" medium-term rental over a traditional lease agreement. BUT... it seems that with the increased management fees and utilities being "included in the rent" I may not really net any more than going the traditional route. Does anyone with experience in this space have any thoughts?
Follow-up question: I know leaving it furnished is the way to go with medium-term (or short-term) rentals... What about furnished long-term rentals? Is that a plus or a minus?
Denver property managers are welcome to contact me as well.

Thanks for all the input.
I will me moving out of state, so I won’t be able to self manage the property.
I rally didn’t want to move my furniture (new chapter, new stuff, right?).
Anyway, I thought the room share setup would cashflow better than than a LTR, but after a very limited amount of research, like @Ginger Pruitt said, that doesn’t appear to be the case here in Denver. I was hoping somebody was going to tell me otherwise, but the numbers just don’t seem to work out that way.
It may be time for a big garage sale!
