I spent a month there cleaning it up and lifting heavy furniture, drywall, wool insulation, etc...

They put out bulky trash on a stormwater inlet and I call it the "magic go-away spot" because almost everything that isn't completely unfixable disappears from there within a day, whether it's the furniture flippers or the metal scrappers who get it.If they don't distinguish between the crimes, they aren't much use. 

A few reasons:Most tenants in Hawaii will have their own furniture already, since most rentals are partially furnished.Tenants without their own furniture usually don't stay in one place for long, meaning more turnover for you.If you provide the furniture it is more hassle and cost for you to keep track of and replace/repair.I don't think you'll lose any potential renters by having it partially furnished.Good luck!

Otherwise, people in that price range typically have their own furniture and want to use it. 

., etc.For example, I recently had to provide  a 4-men crew of movers who loaded and unloaded four 15' moving vans to help owners move piles of furniture and staff to their new location.On top of it, you better know how to handle some of the legal, technical and people's aspects of preforeclosure process.

You can only get the depreciated value of the furniture. 

My renters moved in a scratched the *** out of that floor sliding their furniture over it.Wish I had put the pretend vinyl planks over the floor and saved that expense for when I will sell the house a decade or two from now.

The price of the house was 715K and spend another 30K updating furniture and other repairs.  

Some numbers below:Gross Op income = ~$46kExpenses = ~$70k (furniture, construction, decor, utilities, mortgage interest %, etc)

Go to a furniture store and lay on the matress.
