We rented out our fully furnished house for 4 years. We started with Hometown and dumped them after the first year. They were (to us anyway) hard to deal with, unresponsive, and only got our home rented 3 of 12 months. Plus they took 20%.
We switched to ReMax and had better luck. Our home was rented an average of 4.5 months out of the year. They were good to work with.
We made enough on rental income to pay the bills and mortgage for the year. We had to rent it out during the prime months to do this and then use it ourselves during the slow periods. That is almost always the way it goes.
We finally decided to live here full time and enjoy the winter months; beginning this year.
Good luck with your decision.
