Many areas have worked hard to shut down the short term rental business.

I know all about Hard money and private money lenders, but I am wondering is there is a lender out there that could lend me money to buy my own property under my business name and turn it into a rental all while paying market price on my home?

If it were me, I would get a private money loan and use that money to buy more properties, maybe a mixed bag of flips, short-term rentals and long-term rentals. 

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

Which will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.

I work for a management company that has been in business since 2004 in Florence, Alabama and we can help you identify properties to purchase, coordinate the potential renovations with our in-house maintenance team or preferred vendors and manage the property once it's ready to rent.

If I get into the short term rental business, then it would make more sense to provide EVSE.I like the idea of specifying pre-approved EVSE; I think I may do that.Have you considered providing EVSE at your short term rentals ?
