A. I have no idea what the price is. The link you provided has a contact e-mail to inquire about the price.

Homes generally do not come furnished. Model homes can however at an extra cost, or if the seller is willing to sell the contents at a agreed upon price.

A. Probably a timeshare, and the ad is in the wrong place.
On the other hand, a few years back, I saw an ad for a house in Pasadena California for $25K. Not a misprint! I went and visited it. The house was in the worst part of town (crimewise) and butted up against the city's electrical power plant. Yuck.

How should we search(on starting a new life in Italy)?
Q. My friend and I are searching for apartments in either: Naples, Parma, Palermo, Capri, Rome, Lido di Ostia, or somewhere on the west coast of Italy. We need to find a good website to find an apartment for rent. Obviously some places are more expensive than others, but we're not passing any opportunity that may pass by. Every time I look for a good apartment search through google.com, they're generally villas directed at people who visit for, say, during the summertime for a month or two. We're looking at living there all season, not just a vacation spot. In terms of pricing, is it priced monthly, weekly, etc? Because I ran into that confusion, as here stateside, renting is usually priced as per month. It would be also great to have some recommendations on universities(not necessarily the Ivy League of Italian Unis, but something decent) and possibly part/full time jobs, because we're definitely going to need it! Finally, is being an American(or, a non Italian in general) going to make it a bit more difficult to get opportunities(eg. do people have a preference for Italians over non-Italians)? Or do Italians and non-Italians have equal standing? I'm just curious as to these different questions, hopefully it's not too much to answer too.
A. The reason you're only finding vacation rentals is because you're searching in English. If you want to find apartments or houses for rent or sale here, you need to be looking at the sites in Italian. However, you're getting ahead of yourself because you can't just pick up and move here legally.
Moving here isn't particularly easy especially with the current economic conditions; the recovery is lagging behind the US a bit. You can only stay here for up to 90 days as a tourist without a visa and it would be illegal for you to work here during that time. You would first need a visa to live & work here legally. EU citizens have the right to live and work freely within the EU, others cannot automatically live and work here. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education and residence (without work) visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas. You can often find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites. Note that the working holiday visas that allow someone to stay for over 90 days and work are not available to US citizens.
EU regulations require that a company has to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job before they can get a work permit for a foreign worker. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens and others are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience ... and you would have to be able to speak the local language. When I got my visa for Italy, the process took about 8 months even though it was a transfer of a job I already had in the US (and was at a time when the economy was expanding).
With the economy now, jobs are scarce - a lot of companies have a hiring freeze in place. The unemployment rate in Spain is around 20% for example and almost 50% in the 16 to 24 year old age group. It's not quite so bad here in Italy, but still behind the US in terms of recovery. Many of the recent university graduates I know here are either unemployed or working jobs like cashier at groceries.
It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in. You can find sites by searching for "expat" and the name of the country.

These will have some of the information you're looking for about finding apartments, how to get a permesso di soggiorno and other aspects of life here.
You need to look carefully into the economics of the move. The cost of living is somewhat higher here than in Colorado where my US home is. In addition, if you're a US citizen and move to Italy, you'll need to file tax returns in both the US and Italy every year as a US expat and that can be quite expensive. For me, it is worth living here for the lifestyle and opportunities to travel throughout Europe rather than the monetary aspects.

What can I do to change the status quo and attaract more paying tenants or hostel guests in our apartments?
Q. We are own a family business comprising eighteen modern apartments in Ngong hills located the southwest Nairobi suburb 45mins drive from the Nairobi City center.
We currently facing challenges in this family real estate business namely: revenues had been falling steadily in real terms in the last two years; operational costs are out of control, current occupancy stand only at 40%.
We need a major boost in sales immediately but we do not know where it will come from. The options we have are: redecorate and dispose of all the apartments, boost tenant occupancy, expand usage to include self catering, guest accommodation, convert to retreat center, or guest hostels.
Whichever option we decide on we are also thinking of adopting on-line marketing.
We need hard nosed ideas to change the status quo and create a unique apartment business that people will enjoy for years to come.

A. Well you need to get yourself a really professional website if you want to do self catering.. Also, dealing with a real estate agent who actually deals with people looking for long term rentals is a good idea.. they can vet out the losers and make sure that only the cream of the crop come to live at your apartments. Get online with owners direct,it is a website that advertises rental apartments/homes/villas etc.. You need to take good clean photos of the units, make sure that the beds are made, windows clean, decor neat and tidy. Make sure there are no mops and buckets etc in the photos.. here is an example of a really good website that offers rentals here in spain. www.rentacostatropical.com Take a good look at the photos, and the write ups. If you could model yourselves after this technique, you will probably do okay.
Decorating..this is really important. However, don't run out and spend a gazillion dollars. Furniture can be older, as long as it is in good condition. All appliances should be in good working order, and look clean and are undamaged. For hints on maintaining your property, take a look at this one.
www.salobrenacleaners.com both have a lot of really good information.
By the way, yours was an excellent, well thought out question.
