Nothing significant jumps out to me but a buyer seeing how high he started and how much the price has dropped they may just think if they wait a little longer it would be a price that would allow the new buyer to make some changes to interior decor to match their preferences. 

Since this will be a short-term rental I will be decorating, furnishing, and getting it ready for guests to maximize cash-flow.

Live in the house while you remodel it yourself and learn as you go.Never underestimate the value of a well-decorated and super clean home when selling it.Good luck!

I am keen on trends, including design, market trents, rents, decorating, renovations to maximize profitability.7.

Ever since I can remember, I've absolutely loved everything involved with designing, decorating, and staging.

Let the net owner play decorator and buy the appliances, choose the color, Leave it in primer and jump out with whatever profit you can.
