I know even Cort furniture will “rent” furniture to you. 

I work at a Wayfair call center and receive the occasional call from people buying furniture for their rentals or others who need door knobs and pulls for houses they are building and selling.Over the past month or two I have been receiving significantly more phone calls from people who are furnishing condos to rent.

If you have a home you normally rent for one year at a time, unfurnished and without utilities, you can easily add furniture, include the utilities, and rent it for less than a year but longer than 30 days.

Everything is going to be time-adjusted except for maybe some non-basis closing costs and a cost segregation depreciation factor, and of course anything you actually spend money on like furniture and the like. 

Job opportunities contribute to a stable rental market and can attract tenants.Quality of Life: The city offers a high quality of life with cultural amenities, outdoor activities, and a vibrant community.

Short-term rentals are a part time job and the property managers are too expensive imo.Mid-term rentals could work, but I'd only try it if your leaving your furniture, etc. in the unit.

We bought furniture a few months before we listed and was told we could not claim until rental went live.

Quality furniture, games for rainy days, decent linens, comfy beds etc.Think of the things you want in a place. 

A big downside to Rutland is that it is isolated, the closest interstate is an hour to the East that you must take 35-50 mph roads to get there through small towns. 45 minutes to the West is Lake George area which is a hot spot for shopping and outdoor fun things to do since a lot of NYC people visit the area.Crime isn't an issue where I am living but certain parts downtown does have more crime relative to the rest of Vermont.

In particular, remove all bushes around the outdoor HVAC condenser unit...they'll get overgrown, restrict airflow to the condenser, deposit debris into the condenser, and ultimately make it less efficient.2.
