After 6 months, I strongly suspect that the tenant brought BB in on some furniture or clothing, or their friends brought them in. 

You should be compensated for sourcing the deal, and setting up the rental, coordinating purchase, rehab, furniture and furnishings, utilities accounts, etc, etc.And then separately compensated for ongoing property management, of a property that has been set up as a suitable rental. 

I have thoughts on question 1, do you plan costly renovations, including furniture and fit-out?  

Can write off appliances and furniture purchases on taxes.Cons:1.

As a buyer/renter myself, I just want the basics, not fake-looking virtual furniture pictures that looks like they fell out of The Sims.

If you are doing month to month, the last thing you need is people moving furniture in and out on a monthly basis.  

How are routine furniture moving and replacing best handled?

Now you're looking at 2,150/mo.This is just quick/simple math but if I'm a working professional with a temporary contract or maybe even a snowbird looking to spend the winter months somewhere warm, you are definitely going to get my attention if instead of an added up daily rate of 34000 a month you offer me a flat monthly rate of say 2,500.Even if that's a little higher than an apartment goes per month in your area you are saving me the hassle of a standard lease, setting up utilities, furniture, you get the idea. plus instead of having 4 or more tenants a month your only dealing with one.

You can rent furniture pretty cheap or use a staging company.

The appraiser is going to take pictures of 123 Main Street, showing very scant furniture.
