Dropping your rental rate and remaining competitive in the market, will attract the right tenant based on your initial application and screening requirements.

I also use their virtual credit cards which enables me to assign a card to a specific person, like the cleaner for my STR for example, so when she runs a charge, it automatically drops into the right account in terms of categorizing my expenses.

I have also really considered medium term rentals, however it seems that the market is somewhat saturated as many rentals have been dropping prices significantly when I look through Airbnb.

Despite the fact that the market has dropped significantly both in rent and price, I still think the market should be considered high risk/high reward.

And as of now I've listed myself direct with Zillow and other platforms.I'm now weary as to whether I want to carry on down this journey for the property management.I only have 1 SFH so I don't need much, mostly just wanting to streamline how I communicate and manage the property. drop rentredi asap. 

I'll see if I can use some of this because I get almost no Airbnb bookings unless I drop price way low.

To operate MTR or STR properties, you have to have the time, the resources and the energy to handle any and all issues that arise at any time of day at the drop of a dime.

I'm sure people would pay extra for some kind of "meal prep/private chef" type package in their living situation.You've got the right idea thought, but don't be afraid to reach...nothing wrong with dropping your price after a couple weeks if you don't get any interest.  

As far as credit, you would want a score above 680 ideally to get the highest loan to value on a cash out refinance, but I would aim higher at 720+ as that comes with a significant rate drop.
