So it doesn't have to be an either or choice to have benefit for you.

It's not related to my question, but maybe someone on the forum will benefit.

It would be the same case if you commented about your discovery of rockets with Elon Musk in the room:) On a serious note, the others on this thread are simply sharing depth on the subject and highlighting the fact that you COULD have done a cost seg study and it would likely have given you more tax benefit on top of what you received. 

There are tons of other benefits for 30+ day rentals too.I can handle most of the items you mentioned as well as the ongoing management.

My second post was in response to someone weighing the cost/benefit of self managing.  

The benefit of an agent is that they have experience, they can negotiate on your behalf without getting emotionally involved in the transaction, they provide a second set of eyes, etc.

Then the license will benefit you by able to see homes ASAP, having larger access to off market or pre-market listings, etc. 

And are there any limitations or benefits to that?

There will be likely be benefit with just one property.

I see it as a benefit.
