Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

Quote from @Ben Wisan: Hi all,I am newer to this website and community.quick question for everyone.

The motivation is not necessarily to scale into larger opportunities but rather to achieve better balance and also optimize the performance of the projects and types of projects I currently pursue.I have no shortage of individuals who possess specific skill set who would want exclusive rights to that particular service vertical in return for contributing capital and a partnership interest (construction background and wants to take over all construction duties or someone who is a sales broker and wants to list all of the properties etc.)

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post. 

If I ever have specific questions, I look through google and then use the BP forums as another source.

When I call the most seasoned person Allan Howell he gives me great info but doesnt know the specifics. yet you call others and they know it like the back of their hand.I have learned a lot from this process and am grateful for so many members commenting on my posts and helping me learn more about being an investor.

Scaling-  your question is both country and even town specific.  

The short-term rental (STR) loophole allows for different treatment of rentals with an average stay of seven days or less, but this doesn't change the REPS hour requirements.There is no official IRS form specifically for documenting REPS hours.

With the massive increase in STR properties in the US, I am hopeful that lenders and appraisers will evolve to apply income/exp metrics to STR deals specifically, on top of generic property comps.

DSCR loans are a great option for investors looking to scale their portfolio as they are property specific and allow you to close in an LLC
