NONow if you deal with brokers or agents that have limited networks and only occasionally bring you a property that is different or you are buying in more rural suburban markets.

Most likely, they meant occasional subs on 1099s. 

Appliances included are a refrigerator, electric stove, above stove microwave, garbage disposal and dish washer.

I still have cash in the bank, but not enough to dish out another $30K in more downpayments & closing costs without going house poor.

That means do the dishes/start the dishwasher, bag up the trash and start the wet towels in the wash. 

Then you can blame the lease when something unexpected happens.The lease/rents will be based on a portion of common area expenses, like the property insurance and taxes, the occasional re-seal the parking lot, seasonal sidewalk clean-up and roof maintenance; plus the upkeep of the tenant's space - spell out who will maintain the furnace and who will pay the plumber when the toilet backs up?

Regardless, you or the tenants need to change the batteries occasionally.

I do occasionally have last minute gaps I'd love to fill so Airbnb might be helpful for that.

These men/women are also referred to as “contractors” occasionally and rightfully so.

You’ll need to sell some food, sandwiches, muffins, etc  too I would think....coolers, display cases/coolers, dishes, dishwashers, supplies, costs for labor, rent, utilities, insurance, licenses, permits, inspections, etc, etc.
