My kids and I shop at garage sales and consignment stores...we buy a ton of our furniture for the shared housing program this way.  

Broken leases, they lost all their furniture investment etc.I don't think arbitrage is a bad idea for someone like you.

There will be some up-front costs like the furniture, so just make sure you're okay with that.  

if the cops come to handle a trespassing call, and the unit is filled with their furniture, they will assume they have established residency and they wont arrest. if the cops show up and there is a broken window and an empty apartment, you have a much stronger case for trespassing.

If you were to do it yourself, keep in mind, the likely hood that the buyer may already have furniture of their own.  

Typically, under the stress of nightly tenants, the furniture will have to be totally replaced in 2 years.

After staging our last house we decided to keep the furniture to use on our next flip. 

They are called Bandit signs for a reason my man.Bandit sign means an illegal commercial sign posted on a utility pole, street sign, or other street furniture; or any other sign placed within a public right of way or public property or on private property such that it is visible from a public right of way or public property.

In other times (depending on what the repairs are)  furniture has to be moved, etc. and there are complaints about personal items being damaged.  

Many of the condo-tels charge an assessment every few years to update the furniture and such in the property.
