Others may require you to furnish lodging during repairs unless it was their fault.

Hi Matt, whenever evaluating an MTR market I would suggest looking at Furnished Finder, Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays), and Zillow to try and see what other online listings are available. 

I’m looking to get started with renting out a house in SW Austin 4b2b fully furnished.

I have 7 furnished rentals in the Bay Area and many reservations come in through craigslist, word of mouth, etc.

With Indy SFH#2, MTR could be possible but PM companies charge 15% PM monthly management fee and I have to pay for all utilities and internet/WiFI and furnish it.

Acquisition cost was $700k; reno costs about $165k; furnishings about $35k.

At MTR summit, someone (I believe it was Jeff Hurst, CEO of furnished finder but am not sure) indicated they paid $55k per year for their accountability group.  

Now I'm back to this vacant property in Canton and although I still think it would make a great MTR I rather focus on acquiring another property and putting my capital there.I'm currently weighing all my cashflow options for this Canton property and trying to find the best balance of additional funds and maximum cashflow.Here are the options I can think of:*Let PM take over and just LTR it (no extra capital, minimal time managing, minimal cashflow)*Find someone to manage the MTR (extra capital needed for furnishings, then either rent whole house or rent by the room, better cashflow)*Rental arbitrage (no extra capital, better cashflow than LTR?)

I paid Furnish finder and have not gotten a client yet.

I would add that it'll be even more painful if you have to spend much on furnishings.
