I'm not sure finding a short-term tenant is worth the risk vs. the 2-3 months rent it will net me.
When we bought our house it was being renovated for about 5 months after possession and unoccupied. We had to change our insurance to match it otherwise if something happened insurance will not payout. The insurance was $4500 instead of $3500 a year.

You have to declare that it's unoccupied otherwise insurance is void.
