I want to start a vacation rental business and I need help?

I dont know where to start. I have a great idea to start a small vacation rental with the option of very limited personal use… I can buy a condo on South Beach in Miami on Ocean Ave. Estimated cost 300-400K. I think a 500K business loan would be enough. Or maybe a mortgage. I dont have any collateral. My only income is day trading, and on top of that I am basically broke since I could not find a job after college, and in some credit card debt from moving and not working for a few months. I have a college degree in Economics. I live in NYC so my personal rent expenses are high. 1500/mo just for rent.

The truth is that if if I charge the regular rate of hotels in South Beach, $400 a night.. I only need about 1000 nights to cover the cost of the condo alone. That would be 3 years if I booked every night so lets say 10 years WORST case scenario. Most mortgages can be 20-40 years leaving me plenty of breathing room to be profitable. I have the marketing tools available to rent this condo out plus South Beach is filled with INTERNATIONAL tourist money.. I NEED HELP on how i can get this done!
