This would be the same for LTR or furnished monthly stay, the landscapers come on the same day generally in the same time window so I inform the tenant they need to be prepared during that time.

You chose good finishes and furnishings.

Your safest bet is probably to file for an eviction, especially if they left their furnishings, etc. behind.

I am renting it out as a furnished long term rental (more than 31 days but less than a year), with back to back tenants. 

You can look  into executive rentals which normally require fully furnished and stocked ( dishes,towels and bedding ) but you can get a lot more rent and normally get a lot better quality renter, some downfalls though is it is normally short term but sometimes you can get lucky and cooperation's will lease it for the year and send differant people there periodically.

Private money - no money down except for furnishing the unit which was about $3,000 What was the outcome?

All have been traveling medical professionals and all have found us through Furnished Finder.

You would need to furnish it, of course, and there's the cleaning between tenants and potential vacancies.  

You need to create an experience for guests and have a well-thought-out and furnished STR, professional photos, guest communication, etc.

After considering utilities, increased turnover, and furnishings, do you make significantly more cashflow than LTRs?
