After you patch up an apartment unit (or if you have a pretty one currently lived in by a neat tenant), stage it with nice looking basic furniture, post it on CL yourself and see what response you get.

If you have a truck you can have some free furniture!

Operating Expenses would be around 4000 - 4200.Cashflowing around $2500 / month all worst case scenario #'sStart up cost = around 20,000 ( furniture = 12,000) (security deposit / first&last = 6800) Round up to 20 just to be safeBreak even = 7/8 monthsIf all goes well would extend the lease and profit the whole next year. 

Just have to time it right.I have also bought local furniture on phone and had them deliver to house on day I picked.

I have a vacation rental that was mouse infested upon purchase and I ended them in a few months with snap traps, glue traps, and outdoor bait stations.

Industrial NNN, we're buying industrial outdoor storage.Offmarket CRE can be done, but its not the same as SFR.

Also any purchases such as furniture, kitchen supplies, linens etc.

Those who jumped in the game on a shoestring budget (Goodwill furniture, used towels from home, etc.) will soon find out the gravy train is over.

Or can we keep it as just a clean non-cabin rental with a few bear lamps, rustic furniture, the standard arcade and air hockey, etc.

It's just a thing man.Look don't get hung up on the furniture too much.
