3/2 SFH
2/1 SFH
1/1 apartment.
Very much appreciated

@Kyle Ransom your costs are going to vary wildly depending on where you are and what you need. There are plenty of threads about furnishing a rental you can read up on.
Things to think about:
Transient occupancy taxes, inspection fees, business licensing fee, etc
Utility costs, which will be much higher than average bc people use your property like a hotel
Laundry costs
Consumables (tp, paper towels, shampoo, soap, dish detergent, sponges, cleaning supplies, etc)
