Here's my plan: Rent a nice 2 - 3 bedroom house in New Orleans, in a desirable neighborhood, and rent out the extra room(s) to carefully screened professional type roommates.Hypothetical Numbers for 2 bedroom house:Cash Outlay:$1,500 deposit$4,500 (3 months rent set aside as cushion in case of vacancies)$1,500 for furniture purchase-Find roommates through Facebook marketplace and/or personal network.

I’ve had tenants excited to move in and measure for furniture and such.

Keep them where they are not only because of the above, but because of decorating options and furniture placement. 

On top of that, he refuse to pay any rent increase or violation fee like throwing furniture in the yard .. etc Just a very unpleasant person to work with.

Provide felt furniture sliders for heavy furniture items at move in?

Anyone that needs to move in tmrw, is buying all new furniture, has no rental history because they just sold their house, wants to pay in advance  etc etc.

I can make what I would with a long term tenant based on 30% occupancy rate but when I factor in furniture, utilities, internet, cleaning etc, my first year numbers show up around about 755-80% of net revenue of long term tenant. 

It's my job to buy the furniture and such. 

If you plan to rent short term, you also need to account for utilities/cable, any up-front costs of furniture, kitchen supplies, etc, PM fees if you're going to have a PM, booking fees if you plan to self-manage, and as others have pointed out you need to have a replacement reserve.  

I had to remove a piece of their furniture myself.
