. $24k cash that the buyer(s) did not have to come up with to close and could be utilized towards the upgrades, furniture and furnishings or mortgage payments until their rental gets up and running. 

I'm trying to find a property manager that handles mid-term rentals and will also need help with furnishing the properties.

If you moved in yourself and used a 100% Section 179 depreciation for 5-yr property (furnishings, appliances, carpets etc) - you have to recapture depreciation now.

Besides being a local Bismarck Realtor, my husband and I own 19 units locally including some  long term unfurnished, short term furnished, and midterm furnished.  

We put in around $15,000/$20k worth of construction & furnishings to bring it up to Airbnb standards.

For the family market, you might want to do VRBO, Booking.com and you could also look at Furnished Finder to at least learn about the mid term market. 

I used a DCSR loan and I spent around $30,000 to furnish the property & get a Airbnb ready.

before OP sends the money to furnish for an MTR, they need to be very confident of their numbers.  

What is your process for renting out your place after a potential tenant reaches out to you in Furnished Finder?
