There were presentations on short term rentals and monthly leases that definitely got me intrigued.  

Not onky that but you can hold on to the cash flow properties till they are paid fully for your retirement so its a short term and long term benefit for both of you guys!

However, they were short term and out of the 100s of deals I've done, we're talking 2 times options were the right tool.

Our short-term goal is to create a part-time job for my wife, and we hope to grow it from there.  

In addition, your ability to attract a decent quality tenant will be significantly diminished versus a SFR in a good neighborhood.When going from SFR to MF, there is a tradeoff you're making. 

I am interested in flipping (short term); and eventually doing some buying & holding.

We are on a fact finding mission to determine the best way to start a new company for short term rentals and trying to determine the best practices to do so.

As buy and holds tho, still requiring a substantial down payment, it would cost me too much in the short term.

In a short period, she's already systematized my friends business and freed up his time enough to scale much larger.I know she's a benefit, but is there a market? 

Can I assign or do a subject-to on a short sale?
