A long term 12 month rent is difficult furnished because most pm don't take inventory of the items in the home and when something, like a TV or Couch, breaks the tenant expects the landlord to fix it.

Those TV shows make money on advertising. 

Im currently in the car business but real estate always intrigued me, I would like to hear from seasoned real estate investors how long does it take to turn/flip your investment and start to make a profit.In the past i used to like watching those tv series of flipping homes , them guys made it seem easy but i know its further from the truth.

The following is what I'm looking at providing within the scope of "furnished" as well as some other highlights:-Keurig-Microwave-Fully stocked kitchen-Linens -WiFi-Cable (Fios) with DVR and HBO-Flatscreen TV-Double bed-Apartment cleaning and laundry ( this would be built into the rent) I'm not open to letting the tenant into the section of the house where our washer and dryer are and putting one in the apartment isn't an option at the moment.

Soup Nazi was funny on TV, not so much in real life.So in short, if I can't trust my preparer to proactively help me keep simple mistakes from happening I'm not sure I should trust them on the more significant planning issues.

The majority of us aren’t selling huge multimillion dollar properties like everyone sees on TV.

Bake a pie, give them a free cleaning service coupon, a new tv... yes a new tv.If agent balks about being bossed don't threaten to fire or get angry just don't use him again.  

First, I’m not an atty (I just play one on tv) and this post should not be construed as giving legal advice.  

I used to go my tenants doors, and the cable tv with HBO and all the premium chanels are on.
