@Jeremy Rosen I am a little interested in STR but have concerns about occupancy rate, chaos from being in the same building as the renters, and the capital to not only buy, but also, furnish the STR. 

If you're able to find similar properties on Furnished Finder or Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays) that could help gauge demand/pricing. 

Word of caution, furnishing a house isn't cheap and STR management is a part-time job. 4.

As long as the zoning for STR is good, you should be good and with a 2/1, you can go more crazy on the beach theme and furnishings which is the only way to be successful in a market where there are a lot of other options.

You will need to furnish them and check with local regulations to see if this is legal but if you can you will make a lot more money this way. 3.

Services for survivorsHarriet's Hope is open to any individual — no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation — who has experienced human trafficking or chronic homelessness, meets CMHA's income guidelines for a housing voucher and is ready to make a commitment to sobriety, Kendall said.Most residents will be identified through the Salvation Army, but referrals can come from anyone, anywhere, she said.What sets the community apart from others is that the services residents need are embedded within it, Kendall said.Services include substance abuse disorder treatment by Alvis, case management through the Salvation Army, gender-affirming case management through Kaleidoscope Youth Center, a computer lab furnished by Dell, a food pantry, nutritional services, financial literacy classes, peer support, employment readiness programs, legal aid, health screenings, child care and more.Residents will start out with a one-year lease before going month to month, Kendall said.

What is the best equivalent of Furnished Finder in Canada?

Buying fully furnished and jumping into the VRC Short Term rental program straight away.

I can comfortably put 10% down with at least another 10% in reserves for any updates or furnishings.

The nice thing about listing furnished rentals on long-term, unfurnished sites it that people convert really well on them.
