I would definitely start off renting most units as LTR and slowly renovate and furnish units to do MTR, having a mix of both. 

Maybe a bit more furnished unless other properties are also selling furnished. - WRT income, at a minimum it has to cover all of your costs plus some for unforeseeable expenses.

and also like what I do Utilize as STRs: You furnish and list these properties as short-term rentals (STRs) on platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb.Generate Cash Flow: The higher rental income from STRs, compared to long-term rentals, allows you to cover your mortgage/lease payments, generate positive cash flow, and potentially have funds left over for further investments.Positive Cash Flow: STRs often generate higher rental income than long-term rentals, allowing you to cover your costs and potentially profit.Tax Advantages: You can often deduct expenses related to your STR business, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and maintenance costs.

For pure investment the best strategies in CO are Co-Living and Furnished rentals in my opinion.
