We also had some friends moving out of the country, and we purchased their furniture for a low price, and the home is now a partially furnished rental.

I use rentredi, for the most part it’s great, affordable easy to use, and it’s integrated with latchel which is pretty cool. but a couple of my issues with it are, there’s no way for a tenant to access and pay on a desktop, only smartphone app.

Furniture, pictures, throw rugs, etc  covering walls and floors.  

If you address repairs, hazards and damages when you become aware of them then the law will afford you a great deal of protection and minimize your exposure.You will also have grateful tenants who are less likely to be litigants- but that has a lot to do with vetting as well.

I simply look at the spread between all costs and short term revenue to see if it makes sense relative to the extra CAPEX (furniture) needed.

People want to know details for planning their move...sometimes they want to ask if you'll sell them the outside furniture etc.....It may not be 'appropriate' for your agent, but my next thought would be how many deals have they done? 

Get your furniture from thrift stores in nice neighborhoods (good quality, medium price) so you don't care when it needs replacing.It's totally fine to move the booking off Airbnb and book a guest directly (just don't double book yourself).

The purpose of the VA loan is to provide an affordable lending product for military members and veterans to LIVE in - not an investment.

There's a cart good chance they can't afford it and they will only resent you.
