Planning...getting the house ready to rent ?'s

I'm about 6 months out from having my house ready to rent. I live right next door and will be repainting, replacing flooring and doing some minor modifications.

My home will be a short term min 2 night stay max 1 month stay (extendable month to month) furnished rental.

I have just about completed moving out of the 3/2 1900 square foot home.

I plan to rip up all carpet and sheet vinyl and install simulated wood glue down vinyl throughout the entire home. (rationale: inexpensive, durable, pretty good look over concrete slab, moisture resistant and easy to repair)

Should I replace my gas cook stove with electric?
Should I remove my wood stove?
Should I mortgage the rental and pay off my current residence? (can do this and keep 20% equity in the rental.)
Home warranty for repairs on rental...good idea?
