Hi Brian, If you don't already know, as a short-term rental you must depreciate this property over 39 years like a business rather than a residential rental. You can also do and engineering-based cost segregation study, the IRS' preferred methodology, and get a lot of that depreciation up front. This would likely give you $12k to $20k in after-tax cash-flow right away.
