And the furniture I saw was hers? 

@Shahdan Calcuttawalla The hvac guy I use has installed 2 used outdoor units and one used system for me.

Our family loves great restaurants, entertainment, etc. and would find it difficult to lose access to that.No state income tax states get major bonus pointsWe love the outdoors. 

Don't worry about these costs per se, it's the entire Op Ex model of STR's that is the silent killer, you have to pay for EVERYTHING including these platforms but also furniture, electricity, gas, pool, landscaping, etc. 

What furniture and possessions we could for into the way in kitchen, we did and everything else we had to throw away due to mold damage.

no like toy clothes  furniture  stuff like that 

Final question—if LLC buys a lot of furniture for properties, what is the proper way to get rid of it in 10 years if we decide to get out of the rental game?

I would also have additional cost of furniture if I went that route.

It is a large 5 bed, 2.75 bath with an large den, pool and spa and outdoor space for the kids.

Here are the knowns:Rent per tenant: $750 (this is below market value due to deferred maintenance, I believe $1,000-1,200 is more realistic)Property taxes: $900 per yearLandlord insurance: $1,000 per yearLandlord pays water/trash: claims to be $125 per month (will ask for proof)Landlord is in charge of snow removal and mowing lawnThere are 5 electric meters, each tenant pays their own (landlord covers hallway and outdoor lights)What I plan to ask for is the copies of the leases, copies of the utility bills, and copies of bank statements showing the tenants are actually paying on time.
