Without getting into the weeds of our conversation, their response was as expected highlighting their service and ability to facilitate a loan.

Their services increase the odds of tenants renewing and staying longer.Handling Evictions & Problem Tenants: A good PM handles problems quickly and efficiently.

My only complaints with their customer service are 1.

@Brandon Stelling, thank you for your service.  

Especially #4 about durability.Do you charge your clients a flat fee based on size/price per sqft for your services, or % of spend?  

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

Is it right that short term rentals are considered as licensing the property for use (similar to a hotel) and not a lease for a long term rental and therefore do not require a brokerage license to provide management services that include price adjustments? 

There are some great suggestions here on down payment, interest rate, servicing, and underwriting the borrower.  

I get a few more calls for service but higher rent is worth it.

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market.
