What have been your hurdles, if any, getting into the short term rental market? 

My original plan was to cash out refinance at the end of the project but we need additional funds to finish like I previously stated.  

If you want to be more on the knowledge/digital side of skill, marketing is a good place to start.

As a general rule, it's best to learn how to handle problems before they become problems. make a list of the potential problems you could face as a landlord: rent rates, marketing, collecting deposit, late rent, unpaid rent, abandoned rental, early lease termination, unauthorized pet, etc.

I am looking to connect with folks in the NJ market!

The market really tightened up in the last 3 years where they were better options. 

You may want to check the Columbus OH market - overall great macroeconomics.

Hello -I have put my house on the market for the past 16 days on the MLS for rental.

Proposal 2:  Sell at market value and prepay 4 years of rent from the proceeds, standard lease terms.

I would definitely justify charging 1.5x the market rent for the inconvenience of not being able to move into the property.
