The downside to trying is limited to the cost of furnishing the property, and even then, you may be able to rent it out furnished on a long-term basis if the ST stragtegy doesn't work out, or sell the furniture for that matter.We started STRing back in January 2018 and are documenting our learnings (which are growing :) ) at our blog here (http://www.trihomestoday.com/blog/) if you're interested.Good luck and feel free to reach out with any other questions!

During the showing, ask questions about the type of furniture they have (will let you know if they buy nice things or Ikea stuff).
