Property manager to rent out furnished home? Or rent by the room?

[Parker Nicholas]

Hello All, 

I think this is the right place to post but let me know if i should move it, I am currently working a job that keeps me away from home for long periods. I am looking to be gone for a full year of travel and work sprinkled in. Do property managers rent out homes that are partially furnished? I would remove things as requested such as beds and personal belongings but i have a 4 bdrm 2 bath 1850sq ft. home sitting vacant and thats just not a great thing. I could rent out room by room since i have a college close and am in a good area. Should I use a property manager to do this or what are your thoughts on the future to make it more of an investment and get some ROI. I have had 3 people who went through the whole lease agreement and were about to move in and flaked out last minute and 1 that moved in and had a family emergency a week in and had to return to Tennessee. So any advice and where I should post room for rent or a property manager in Jacksonville, Fl that would help me out would be great.
