Sounds like you will need a short term hard money lender for this transaction and a JV partner for the downpayment.

Its a great time for investors to tap into the equity they've accumulated over the past few years on a cash out refinance with improved terms. 

I currently manage a highly successful short-term rental arbitrage in Houston, boasting over 170 reservations in the last three years.

Seminole for Example has a lot of great traffic and tons of spots to eat, drink, socialize for adults and kids.I know Cape Coral is picking up in terms of STR's with the complettion of the 7 Mile Island and more construction lately. 

There is not a wait requirement for simply refinancing what you owe to get a lower rate or term.
