If you are adding some furnitures I would look into Facebook market, I have found a lot of great pieces for free or super cheap in almost new condition.Good luck!

Premium condo and a lot of high-end upgrades and furniture.

Vacasa reps called me everyday where I communicated the many issues including blood stains on furniture, smelly towels and sheets, bathrooms with mold, and more.

Well, if you have alot of F&F (furniture and fixtures) and common area items, parking lot lights, etc. it migh be worth the headaches, but again, think about the recapture as Will points out.

For example - you buy a property that needs renovations, upgrades, furniture and decor for a short term rental.

typically if they are painted (excl pro furniture type), you just repaint them if nec. 

The second day after their move-in there was a drive by shooting and a stray bullet penetrated a window and damaged their furniture (thankfully nobody was hurt).  

Tenants can be very harsh on hardwood and laminate....moving furniture, pets claws and spills are generally not handled as well as they are with homeowners.

However, due to short seasons, and more mild winters, I'm struggling to think even 3-4 years from now that I'd pull anything more than $50K a year in rentals.Bills / property taxes are about $12,000 a year.The thing is, being single, and not really dying to work in this area (small town), I'm feeling rather stuck, as is all the equity.I'm currently not working, but very much want to move back to Chicago, a place I love, and start buying cash flowing properties.I'd suspect I would have about $900,000+ after all is done if it sold at $950K, considering the vast array of other things I've accumulated (wood splitters, machinery, tools, MCM furniture, rugs,).

Medium term rental (MTR) - Furnish the apartment with some light furniture and start marketing it to hospitals (travel nurses) and corporate stays.
