If you haven’t staged any yet, stage your own home and take pictures for a start.What’s important to me is responsiveness, ability to get the job completed efficiently, having an eye for what style of furnishings will show off the property best, having inventory options and reasonable fees for the clients.Much success to you!

Don't forget the cost of renovation, furnishing the house, and the amount of time you spend answering calls, booking stays, dealing with problems, cleaning, or whatever else is involved.It seems like a lot of money to spend for that kind of income. 

If you're willing to rent it short-term, furnish it and hand it over to a property manager that can put more money in your pocket instead of letting the tenant make money with your property.

It seems like you would have to pay the contractors as though they were employees when you furnish the materials and tools, and direct them in what to do. 

I have some capital put to the side, furnishings/decor ready and two cleaning companies already in pocket but need to find an individual/company who is currently subleasing so I can finally get my feet wet.

The one newer product that delivered in 2016 is lackluster, has limited amenities and doesn't even offer furnished washer/dryers. 

The other issue is unless you are buying furnished you will need to furnish a STR so make sure you hold that money in reserve as well.

And I would need to spend around 5K for furnishing it. 3bed/3bath.Q2: There's 2 other exact same property listed and hoped to get a partner to buy all 3.

Currently renting out month to month fully furnished.

We’re getting so many nomad-worker tech-bro types moving here that medium-term furnished “executive” rentals in prime locations can fetch up to $30k/month (needs to be in a blue-chip location with super high-end luxury finishes/appliances/features obviously to rent for that much, and it’s seasonal, but still, it’s crazy).
