If you do go the Ikea route for any furniture, always start on CraigsList or FB Marketplace for used items.If you're renting the space on platforms that don't rely on reviews like Airbnb/VRBO, you could probably keep the furnishings to a relative minimum and help keep your start-up costs down. 

Buying a modular or mobile home first and then next move into a single family.Buying a home out of state only having to put 10% down can be used as a short term rental immediately then on the second year you refinance and transition into a investment you only need 85% LTV.The tough part is when a buyer purchases a single family home and then wants to buy a 2-4 unit and say they want to live in a unit.

I was hoping to get some clarity on the rent collection functionality of the stessa/rentredi platform, versus hiring a property management company.

I've used several "light" management platforms and landed on Avail (Avail.co) for the last five years or so.
