However, this has back-fired because it takes time to drive out to the home only to get a firm "NO" to your request.   

You could form a month to month lease with a just a days notice to vacate so you could end it as soon as you get your license ready to close, the seller might be open to it.https://www.hostaway.com/blog/rental-arbitrage-joshua-tree/Or, you could continue to list on the seller's Airbnb and you could become a full-access co-host on their account - handle all communication, pricing, etc.

Why do you want to try it? 

Quote from @Pierre Tran: You say the property nets $1,400 a month?

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

We are asking the current tenants to leave as the property is not in optimal condition we like to have our rentals and we would like to fix it up to increase value and rents.

I will probably do one starting again next month. 

You will start to see if you want to do what they do.

Very cool- awesome to see the ambition!

The ADU will bring in around $2800 net per month.
