The short-term rental market is getting tougher in San Antonio as they restrict new permits for non-owner-occupied short-term rentals.  Midterm furnished rentals are a money maker if you can keep it occupied and i believe it would not require a permit.

Have you considered moving into it?  Refinance it as a primary home for yourself and make your current home a rental.  Ride the wave of appreciation while living in the beautiful home you just created.  My wife and I have had to do this in order to keep a home but definitely don't regret it.  You may be able to pull some equity out when you refinance and go buy another cash flowing asset or project.
