I am doing an FHA loan and will move in once approved.

I moved here from Florida after seeing the projected growth.

Yeah, it's an interesting model--I can see how it could work really well in some scenarios and not work at all in others. ...for one thing, you have to use furnishings that in-line with the look and grade of the property, and which are appealing to the typical tenant--which I'm sure can be a bit hit and miss...   ...I suppose that one hidden benefit with a furnished unit is that you don't have so much wear and tear from tenants moving furniture in and out, hanging pictures on the walls, etc....I just finished a rehab at a LTR property--the tenants were pretty good and didn't cause any excessive wear/damage, but even then, there's always a lot of patching and re-painting that needs to be done after long term tenants leave....

I purchased a duplex, renovated and rented one side while living in the back unit for a few years. since then I have moved out and rented both sides while renting a house for less.

Is this a wise move?

The home is located in a Master Plan neighborhood with good schools, nice amenities, etc.My plan is to then move out of the 2nd home in a year and rent it for an actual profit and move into a new home using my wife's VA loan entitlement. 

Is it recommended to have it furnished to reduce the amount of moving damage it can cause?

2 additional questions:1 - If someone responded saying that they are putting the home on the market, would you guys still move forward with the foreclosure process?

James,I've been seeing a number of articles recently about the downside of container structures. 

I about to pull about $50K from my SFH in Middle Georgia and I’m planning my next move.
