@Nik Farooqui You are correct in that GC licensing is never a requirement but it is more of a "silent factor" that can make a lender more comfortable lending hard money and thus the approval and loan process easier.

I would not put Luxe in any STR, even a higher end one as I feel the standard is comfortable and nice. 

If I end up with a property, I wouldn't be comfortable with someone in Ohio managing it for me.

Some title companies are not comfortable with wholesaling, particularly in states with related laws. 

So I feel comfortable with that.

Given you already have a property, you may feel comfortable enough with the home-buying process and reviewing of the contracts.

I'm bringing on my friend as a consultant to further our knowledge base and create some additional comfortability with the financial investors.

My B class single family rentals have working class people in them mostly and only a small portion would be comfortable with automatic payments for something that large.

I have studied the market there for a bit now and am comfortable with investing with decent Cash Flow and modest property price gains.

Now I am wearing the other shoe and it’s nice.
