Anyone purchase the furniture themselves?

They'll basically go into these places and get them set up with any furniture and appliances needed to make them vacation-rental ready.

A lot of my stuff is still in the home as I only brought bedroom furniture with me to texas.

They can chew furniture, carpet, etc.2.

Can the HOA handle all of the maintenance and turn-over, buying new furniture and linens as needed, or is a property manager required? 

The lowest bid was for $3600 and the plumbing contractor was going to rip the carpets out move the tenant's furniture out, bust up the floor, excavate the broken pipe and get a pile of dirt in the living room and then when finished the plumber was not going to put the carpets back or put the furniture back in the room.I am a plumbing contractor.

They had buried lines and connected them to outdoor faucet and a 220 electrical box inside another property of mine adjacent to that property?

Appliances, furniture, carpet, etc. for 5 years, the AC is a structural part of the property and is depreciated over the same 27.5 years.

Moving furniture in and out vs. just a suitcase and using the property mostly just to sleep rather than living in results in very little to any damage between tenants.  

Maybe they have placed furniture too close to the return air intake?
