@Jamie BanksI understand there are multiple parties: 1) displaced insurance policy holder (tenants)  2) ALE 3) The company that supplies all the furniture and install the washer and dryer. 

Also converted what was once a restaurant/kitchen to a coworking lounge with views of the ocean and pool/patio area.Redid kitchens, painted, added swing, hammocks and created social areas.

The cost of the furniture is tough up front-- you can rent furniture or go through FB marketplace.

STR can provide more cash (potentially), but its a high risk high reward strategy - if you invest in the furniture, staging, photos, and management or self manage, there is a lot of time and money invested.

We do have 1 mid term rental where we allow pets, but it's all hard surface flooring, fenced in backyard, and has pretty durable furniture. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy working out at the gym, woodworking and building furniture, playing tennis and doing any and every DIY project. 

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

I to am a big CL user for everything: appliance, patio doors, building materials, etc Thanks All

Your tenant stayed somewhere with bed bugs and brought them back in their clothes/luggage, or they bought used furniture that already had bed bugs.

You could swing to a furnished rental if that works for your area even with rental furniture but that is a different model.
