This may hamper your growth by limiting the properties you can get.

anything that might be a showstopper or seriously hamper any returns I may have?

Naturally, the more ways to rent short-term you can find the better.I buy turnkey properties or directly form flippers and then have them professionally managed by super hosts, aiming to have as many of the 9 options in place as possible.The biggest issue I see when people speak about real estate is the fact that most people look at price and appreciation, not at performance and all the variables that drive or hamper performance.

If you want to be a successful Real Estate Investor, saving couple thousand (or less actually) on taxes when you begin made hamper your abilities to scale rentals in the future.

While most, if not all banks now require a seasoning or waiting period of at least 6 months, this can hamper deal flow, and seem like an eternity in the real estate game.

However, we knew we needed to hamper down and get the ball rolling.

If they don't want people with any (or certain) criminal convictions to be hampered by that when it comes to renting a home (or otherwise) - then why not pass a law that the record becomes sealed and thereby doesn't show up on a rental background check? 

I want to defend this because turnkeys get a bad name anyway, and since everyone assumes the inspection should come back clean, that only further hampers the reputation.

The cleanest shirts in the dirty hamper to me are EOG and PXD.

If you go through with that, you will be extremely hampered in any future endeavors.
