My options usually include the all cash/quick close to flip myself, listing it (as an agent) but also offering the seller to do a JV flip together, I could wholesale it, offer to buy it myself for a BRRRR or other long term personal investment, etc. 

However, if the new month to month leases change any terms of the existing oral agreement (utility switch, rent increase, etc.), the tenants will need appropriate notice of the change in terms before they can be asked to sign new leases.

So, there is a premium demanded by the property owner to lease his property short term rather than long term.

As a short term rental investment right now it is definitely not the best choice.

I have picked up a curiosity and even passion for short-term rentals and hope to own my own STR property in the area of the University I am attending. 

As you mentioned, it's my business and I set the terms.
