Have you tried looking on VRBO?

If you don't have enough time to manage the STR you probably don't have enough time to sell all the furniture separately, so I'd definitely sell it furnished. Will you get fair market value that way? Probably not, because the vast majority of buyers aren't STR investors who value it like you do, but it's efficient.

Personally I'd use an agent, again because selling real estate is not the highest and best use of my time.

Happy to help. Most of us are. Can you just post it publicly?

Check out Rent Responsibly. They offer resources for hosts to try to work with cities to get laws changed.  

There's a hotel data company called STR (ironically NOT for short term rental!) that will run custom reports for you. We used it when we were considering buying a boutique hotel. Good data.
