You’ll still see scratches if someone drags furniture, but compared to laminate or hardwood, it holds up better.If you're not installing it yourself, ask contractors for brands they prefer.

I need time to pack up and move my furniture and move into some temporary living arrangement until I find a second Lennar house who's numbers work for me. 

Many mom-and-pop owners love the hands-off approach, especially if you cover upfront costs like furniture and locks.

Given my property location if the MTR market were to significantly change I can pivot to LTR easily by simply removing the furniture.

When I first started house hacking, I had to pay a portion of the mortgage but as time went on & I added a few amenities like backyard eating area with patio furniture (inexpensive from FB market place $30 bucks), hi speed internet, etc...

You might have to put up some furniture, but you should be able to get above market rent for 1bedroom units x 4 bedrooms.

I see owners charging what I think are pretty fair rents to cover their costs...utilities/washer/dryer/furniture/internet and toys...and such...add in vacancy and convenience and to me owner is not getting rich...but the potential tenants on the other hand feel like they're being gouged....of course they are getting paid 2x probably what permanent staff is making, but then don't want to give that up to pay for increased housing costs.   

Maintenance of furniture and restocking suppliesIt is very time consuming.

And then factor in cost of furniture and utilities.

Are you losing money but a lot of what you are factoring in are 'one time costs' such as furniture?
