I'm interested in trying the short-term rental market with a couple waterfront properties. 

Ideal if you're short on cash upfront, but be prepared for higher monthly payments.Conventional Loan: @Chris Seveney and I agree conventional is your better option.  

Investment also spiked in Class A Short-Term Rentals (STR) and investors started paying higher and higher prices based upon anticipated STR rental rates, that exceeded sustainability based upon Long-Term Rental rates (LTR).

Regarding any short term private lending we do, we do not offer any incentives or special programs. 

If you're certain the type of renter you're going to get are traveling medical professionals, you know they're on short term contracts (typically 13 weeks).

Set up a PO box shortly there after haha

It started well for a short while. 

Without adding creativity like: room by room renting/padsplit, value add/larger cash down, mid-term or short term renting, etc it's just how things are.  

Yes we ask towards the top of the market, but I anticipate my holding times (which are in line as the short supply in my area is able to work for me) and build that in. 

For example, they may have an account in collections or a short payment history on a recently opened account. 3.
