It doesn't look that terrible and it could be hidden pretty easily with some sort of furniture.

My mother in NC recently passed away leaving me a house in NC (fully paid off) and other investments in stocks and mutual funds as well as vehicle, furniture, etc.

My #1 goal is to make the home tenant ready and so the furniture needs to be fully operational and safe for use.

The majority of furniture and utensils will all be the tenants possessions as I have very little. 

I currently work full time at Ashley Furniture selling furniture and managing people.

Also, make sure it is very clean...in my experience a vacant unit can get kind of dusty and need follow up light cleaning if it is vacant longer than a month, especially if it has had a fair amount of viewings/traffic. the cleaner the unit the higher quality of tenant and price.Also, you should get your realtor to facetime or send video of the neighborhood, if your neighbors have furniture or mattress left out at the curb, lots of graffiti, people loitering, or their is a homeless encampment down the street, there could be issues that have nothing to do with your property, but more to do with the immediate neighborhood.the other suggestions about zillow, gets you on HotPads, trulia at the same time, since they are owned by same company...the other app is apartments.com.

Build equity I can tap for later deals, price appreciation, maximize revenue, furniture belongs to me. 

I'm working on getting my first North FL SFH appraised/rented and need to get the lawn cleaned up and some furniture installed before the appraisal gets done.
