MTR vs LTR?

[Andrew Baumann]

I just purchased my first home in Charleston, SC. It is a 3 bed 2.5 bath and it came furnished. I plan to live in it for a year while renting out the rooms and then rent the entire place after I leave. I am considering either keeping it furnished and doing an MTR or taking the furniture and renting it as a LTR.  I am concerned with the MTR route due to the difficulty for finding a family to rent out a furnished home. If anyone has any experience or advice with the best option, or maybe an option I overlooked, it would be greatly appreciated!
