In the Tampa market the best located, best furnished, "coolest" units are doing great, average are sort of breaking even, and subpar are withering on the vine.Curious if that is the norm in most markets.

Whatever you land on, make sure you save enough capital for furnishings and improvements. 

S&P 500 beats RE by double.S&P 500 = $900,000Real Estate = $460,000However, these units are good for someone who wants to dip into real estate while using their unit any time they want with the aforementioned owner perks but without the hassle that ownership brings like maintenance, roof, bad tenants, furnishings, bill payments like SDG&E, internet etc.

They can't furnish it and make decisions for you unless you want to end up at the bottom of the algorithm.

I also took their abandoned newer furniture to my rental so that I could charge $400 more a month for my furnished house.

The company line is simply: We cannot evaluate you as a tenant until you see the unit, complete the application form (which has a space to furnish explanations of anything you believe needs context) and pay the application fee.

All that said, this is exactly why I am currently doing furnished monthly rentals on a unit since I do want to add an ADU to the property.

The only way you could get to 3 quality STRs with that $80,000 is if you use the BRRRR method and execute it absolutely perfectly. and get all of your capital back + some extra to cover furnishing on every deal.

I'd offer different packages, such as purchasing furniture and supplies, doing actual set-up, refreshing an already-furnished rental, doing marketing, etc.
