New AirBNB Business in Columbus Ohio!

Right now we have 5 properties that we do rental arbitrage through right now and we are looking to expand into more properties. The issue that were having is in our communication with the landlords. They are very comfortable with Long Term Rental and allowing someone to come in and do Short Term is sometimes very intimidating. 

"Risk" is the biggest objection that we are seeing so far. My Business partner and I have both been in the Military for a combined 18 years so when a landlord or property mgmt company talks about risks... well we get risks and we know how to mitigate most risks (Exterior security cameras, smart locks on the doors, noise detection, AND a Full Time Private security team that is tied in with the CPD)

Does anyone have any advice on what we can be saying different or what is the best way to overcome some obstacles with landlords switching from Long Term to Short term? I love what I do and would love to hear your thoughts!
