They’ll rent faster and any damage caused by furniture or wear and tear can be fixed in hours. 

The furniture guys will build and install mahogany counters and cabinets.  

Mid term is a great strategy for first time landlords. 1) typically rents for 50-100% more than long term  2) less wear and tear on your property since furniture is not being moved in and out 3) low stress with great tenants since you are hosting business travelers and relocating families that stay 90 days on average which is only 4 flips a year. 4) can be easy to self manage alongside your sales job. 5) process is similar to long term with tenant screenings, leases and rent payments. 

They may do a cost segregation study, which accelerates depreciation on things like furniture, appliances, and improvements.

We privately financed it then we cleaned it, moved al the furniture out and made it look as good as it can.

If you’re floating repairs, furniture, and off-season vacancy out of pocket, it’s going to bleed fast.3.

The great thing is on the larger furniture items with Costco you schedule the delivery.

I first had someone I screened so carefully ditch on their lease and not pay rent, and they left me with an entire apartment full of furniture- upstairs, no less.  

Given I'd have to pay for electricity, WiFi, HOA, taxes, furniture, repairs , etc. the upside didn't seem worth it.

You can mitigate a lot by buying good used USA made furniture like @John Underwood said.
