Or are you looking to buy and hold for long term wealth down the road? 

Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms.

In making this post here on BP, I wanted to humbly come to the forum however and start from scratch in terms of idea generation as to any and all avenues to pursue in getting the word out there so as to not miss any options.

I've considered areas close to the Falls, but sellers seem to price it a lot higher assuming the buyer can make it up renting it short term. 

What’s the current loan balance and terms with the hard money lender?

The goal is to set appointments without using human labor and going all in on AI voice cold calling is not necessarily the best approach. 

They will then send a letter stating what terms they are offering.

As the new owner, you’ll want the lease and your landlord insurance policy to take effect as soon as you take title to the property.Temporary Lease Considerations:While short-term leases can work well, leasing to a seller long-term often leads to complications.

My idea to achieve this is to convert the studio into a short-term rental.I’m trying to determine if I’m forcing this deal to work by relying on the short-term rental strategy or if it’s a reasonable approach given the numbers.

There is no additional "risk" on the note like a demand clause etc, but you have  extra expense in upfront one time costs and the pre-payment penalty that most programs are sold with if rates do drop as expected in the future.
