Foreign governments are moving their gold inventory back from the U.S. to avert seizure by the U.S.  

Since I'm not buying properties in cash (nor willing to accept a commercial rate for a conventional deal) I am doubtful of deeding property to a Holding LLC after close - it seems risky (and wouldn't that pierce the corporate veil already?).

All institutional lenders, DSCR, conventional and government send out disclosures that are very clear regarding the length of time and the percentages of the prepayment penalties. 

After the initial set up, I go to my STR before the busy season to take inventory of linens and consumables like soap etc, replace or repair linens or small items, touch up paint, and get my eyes on the property to make sure everything is in good repair.

One thing that Cape Coral does offer over the others though is that being a much larger market, inventory will be more diverse, so you might have better luck finding a specific property type and price point.

@John Mason  you have a conventional second home mortgage?   

Low inventory and pent up demand are keeping prices higher (and still rising), even in a higher than previous (but historically average) interest rate environment. 

So, your 12 months of payments would not be enough to exclude the payment from the sellers debt to income ratio for a future conventional loan.2.
