In that case the differences between evicting a tenant in a furnished STR with all utilities paid and far greater more variable/seasonable income streams is (IMHO) a far worse situation than a traditional LTR (where you’re at least mitigating some risk via expectations of standard background, credit, and past landlord, etc checks. 

Here are the property stats:1) 2082 sq ft, zillow says 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (he didn't give me the amount of bedrooms and prop stream didn't have it either).

So far there has only been one person on here that I thought could take the risk without losing it all if it all falls apart.We have a constant stream of new folks coming in with this brilliant idea.

Both carry major debt and their revenue streams and cost basis are not things they can influence as much as a business would like.

After becoming a LL and a difficult tenant with subsequent eviction in that first tenancy, come the following Xmas season, I viewed the movie "it's a wonderful life" thru new goggles.

I am grateful for:My families healthSafe homeAvailability of food and clean running waterThe following is gravy:Amenities to pass the time- Wifi-streaming movies-old dvd's-boardgames-deck of cards-streaming movies-youtubeKnowing that my finances are in order 

The more streams of income I have coming in, and the higher my net worth, the less likely my family will ever have to deal with any financial crisis in their lives, which I know from my own childhood can be very hard.

Also even if my boyfriend or I should die neither of us would sell it quickly as it is free of debt and the income stream is part of our long term strategy.

You took on that extra risk (along with many others) on a higher return instead of a steady stream of income from a more traditional rental.
