. $62k total cash invested including closing costs and some updates and furnishings.

We have a couple student rental properties and keep the student permits active for resale but don't rent to students.There is a great rental market outside of students so getting someone in there for only 8 months is an option especially with it being a cute furnished rental.

I also found the furnished finder’s e-book that explained the concept of Tax Home.

We furnished the 1-bed unit as a guest suite, perfect for when we have people in town and a short-term rental.

I own property in the East Bay and have some furnished rentals in Mountain View and Redwood City.

I have a vacant property at the moment and I was just contacted by possible tenant that is looking to rent my furnished property for a short period while they go through a big renovation. 

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Buy and Hold Fixer Upper Duplex (owner occupy while renovating) - Upper level unit is being rented as a mid-term fully-furnished ranging from $1,775 - $2,100/month.

Besides Airbnb I would recommend Furnished Finder, VRBO 30 + days and local Facebook pages (can also try specific pages for travel nurses, etc).

They reached out to me regarding my very nice furnished rental and offered to find and place corporate tenants for me, manage the property, charge %20 fee.

It also has good demand for travel clinicians/nurses, and on Furnished Finder the data suggests that there is good demand but very little housing available to them.
