@Jason O.I've rented to over 700 students (under and grad) and I understand the market well.To do it successfully: time it with the academic calendarSept to May: flat price including utilities and furniture for max revenue, can include a cleaning service to keep an eye on the rental.May to Aug: depends on your city density and the amount of summer classes, increase the price to accommodate the demand or decrease it accordingly.

Luckily I have an attached gazebo with simple baseboard heat - lol that and the outdoor pool are the two places the temp is consistent.    

To figure the expense of furnishing, you could use this rule of thumb: $10-15k for the unit itself (things like appliances, living room furniture) and $2-3k/bedroom.

As compared to today, the former process was more like crafting a fine piece of handmade furniture, instead of buying something at Ikea. 

Furniture.

You should try renting the home out with furniture if you have the budget to do it.

Or are you concerned whether you will be able to conduct the walkthrough properly with furniture and personal belongings blocking views?

In the first year of business (2023) should I use bonus depreciation for improvements, furniture, irrigation, landscaping?

The Strip comes alive with bustling pools and outdoor dining.

I had asked them multiple screening questions prior to the showing and then toward the end of the showing and out of nowhere they asked if they could receive a discount on the first month's rent so that they could buy new furniture... living room, dining room and bedroom sets.
