Have you found it to be helpful to try for MTR like in furnish finder for the time being.

 $200k+ minus furnishing costs on a mansion size place that probably was excess of $50k that you likely would be lucky to get 30% of value still leaves $150k+ for 10 months.  

My first question would be is this a "boarding house" {usually defined as providing one or more meals per day} or a "rooming house" {provides furnished rooms along with common kitchen and bathroom facilities}?

I posted the furnishing for the AirBnb, 'Tenant Supplies.'

I have a furnished apartment here in Lake Charles that we started renting as an AirBnB about two months ago. 

We can sell it furnished so it is basically ready to go.

- Keycheck.com comes with Furnished Finder and is pretty solid- TurboTenant.com also has screenings built into their management softwareOverall, I like both as each provides a comprehensive credit/criminal/eviction report.

It's also important to ensure the homeowner isn't eliminating a wide swath of potential renters without being aware -- things like not allowing pets, or having furnishings can do this.3.

I would do as follows:-Search for a 3/3 or a 4/4 house (bed/bath)-Make sure you have a decent team behind you (a realtor and a CPA should be fine if you're just starting out)-Furnish your property like it's an AIR B.N.B. so you have more attention on your unit-Utilize a mid-term rental structure and list the house on a site like furnished finder-When it is time to purchase a new property, repeatIf you have a property that is a 3/3 you can rent out one bedroom to a long-term tenant after you move out as well so this scenario would be perfect for a college kid who is looking to move out.

If the HOA changes their mind, you can easily pivot to a furnished rental, work with corporate relocation companies for short term leases, or a standard LTR.
