Seller including all furnishings.

If that's the case, it would make more sense to furnish those rooms over time like when we're ready to have kids down the road.

This method of doing things definitely required more of our time & sweat equity, but we were able to perform what amounted to nearly a gut rehab with high-end finishes for $60 / sf.We finished the renovation and immediately staged / furnished both units. 

Larry's into horses or horse showing or something like that - Elizabeth is a cool older eclectic gal - (our family lived in one of her furnished rentals for a month and a half when we came here)

I have three furnished rentals in very desirable neighborhoods @Daniel Crenshaw I am very thankful that each of these furnished rentals are in a building with another unit, with regular tenants. 

I have 9 furnished rental listings—4 in San Francisco and 5 just south of SF.

My version of 1. is buying a 2000-3000+ sf 4-7 bedroom house near where I work and renting out spare furnished rooms at $1000-1500/month, whatever your market will bear.

The seller has no existing leases in place says is charging $500 a month but will furnish leases at closing, market rent is at least $840 a unit.

Usually, commercial espresso machines cost $6000 and, I will need another $5000 to invest in property and furnishing.

I would consider hiring a professional photographer for a few hundred bucks and if you're willing to make the investment, get the furnishings updated and consider a kitchen overhaul.
