It was not a big deal for him as he already owned it as an LTR previously and furnished it in hopes of using it as a second home when he lived in CA.  

So, you would need to have it set up like an ABNB, fully furnished, this does not seem viable, Why reinvent the wheel :)  Be happy with your 10% net :) 

You can also look at furnished finders and see if Mid Term would be good and you can be consistent with prices and make sure you know how much it will cost to furnish and make sure the investment is worth it.

The majority of the budgets were spent on design, furnishings, and amenities, so in return, these STRs perform very well, actually exceeding revenue projections.

Just under the 1% rule at close, but we plan to convert 2 units into furnished mid-term rentals at premium rates.

Not sure if they still have this option but at a conference in April furnished finder was offering a free professional photo shoot with sign up.  

Found great cleaners who are doing well and design consultants to help uplevel some furnishings. 

The units I posted are on Airbnb, VRBO, furnished finder, etc.  

One is a furnished corporate rental and the other three are market rate unfurnished rentals, right in the heart of St.

Interestingly, these leads have come 50/50 from furnished finder and AirBnB (sorry, Vrbo).
