Is it advisable to rent out a furnished place? Or go with Airbnb? I want some stability and don't have a ton of furniture, but enough that I don't want to sell it or move it. Any advice? Is it more troublesome to manage and do you find renters are opposed to it mostly?

It’s a different pool for renters. I’ve liked doing furnished rentals as there is less wear and tear in the property and people just show up with their suitcases generally. You just can’t care about the furniture and if it’s nice and in good shape you can possibly charge more and depreciate the cost of the furniture. If you want stability and use Airbnb have it be 31 days or more as you minimum number of nights. I also found good longer term tenants via craigslist (visiting nurses, consultants, etc)
