I agree, having to move frequently would be a killer for me. And since you're moving furnishings, ugh, what a hassle. Not cheap. Not easy. Not pleasant. Who does this? Suckers, I think. The owner of the house is getting a live-in caretaker who brings their own (presumably appropriate) furniture, cleans the house, shows the house, and packs up and moves out when the house is sold -- and they also get $500/month or so in INCOME from this person.

Usually, you have to pay furniture rental, pay cleaners, and pay the mortgage. Sounds like a sweet deal to me -- for the owners.
