I only mention this because I noticed your mention of Furnished Finder, which is the only platform I list my MTR, and FF caters to 30+ day stays. 

Waiting for everyone to be there, and saturate is too late.

Not sure if this has been mentioned as I skimmed the last half of the posts.

I agree with @Michael Baum do guests mention in reviews?

As Account Closed mentioned, the first question is to decide if you want to invest actively or passively. 

Flippers always get frustrated waiting for the home occupant period to end on them.

You could have it show up under 3 bedrooms when guests are looking for that, but you should mention in your description that it is 2 bedrooms + a loft. 

new construction homes everywhere. many people waiting on the fence. once the rates drop its going to get crazy again.

While the Agent mention that the seller would prefer no assignment, to which I acknowledged. 

I advertise the houses that way, even if there's an appliance or two that the previous owner has left in them and I don't mention them so that the people coming aren't (or shouldn't be) expecting to find them.
