I found this deal from being a local.

Not a big sub to fan and definitley not a fan of people trying to wholesale deals off of the MLS.

Do you have tips for structuring short-term leases that protect me as a landlord while accommodating their needs?

With on market deals like this, there are two scenarios: 1) you see something that no one else sees OR 2) everyone else sees something you don't

However, a great deal came along my way.

We run into this especially at out parcels in grocery anchored centers, and our users generally can't make a ground lease work for the business case so the next best thing does tend to be the BTS or we often do Reverse BTS deals where the majority of the building design and management etc is done by the tenant. 

Buy: $284,900Rehab: $115,000Holding: $16,500 Points: $3,413 Selling fee: $30,000Insurance hold: $2,000-$2,500 (maybe get back $1,000-$1500 if you close quick)Other title/escrow purchase: $2,500ARV: $500,000Profit: $46,587 (9.25% approx) I would do the deal, especially if you get that gap for rehab closed 3-4 months and tighten up the rehab costs too ($100,000)   

Structuring a joint venture (JV) or equity partnership can make the deal appealing by offering a share of cash flow and appreciation. 

As others have mentioned, you typically need some liquid capital to get a deal done even if a hard money lender was funding 100% of the deal for you.
