I am curious as to what method is best. Whether one should buy a turn-key, furnished or empty home with no furnishings and start from stratch.

Different people will have different interpretations of what "turnkey" and "furnished" mean. Always verify what the deal includes and excludes. When we bought "furnished", the buyers went through the house and created a list/document of every item that was included in the sale. It was included as an attachment to the contract for both parties to acknowledge. It left nothing to assumption which was great.
An advantage to buying turnkey or furnished is that it takes far less time to "set up shop" - it leaves you very little to do to be ready to move in and be fully functional. The downside can be if you don't like how the place is furnished - then you're spending time and money replacing things that you just spent money for. Starting from scratch lets you furnish and decorate the home to your taste.
