[preposition] + [noun] + [participle]

Is this construction always wrong ?

Ex: "I am looking for a one-bedroom apartment with furniture included"

'with furniture included' - is this incorrect? is this construction always wrong?

can gmat staff provide more examples?

TIA

not necessarily. it depends on what the prepositional phrase appears to be modifying. rather than trying to adopt a strict rule, look at what the phrase could be modifying and see if it makes sense and is unambiguous. what exactly are you looking for more examples of?
