Driving traffic to your direct booking site, if you have one, can definitely be a challenge but I personally believe it's becoming more important all the time, particularly for STR. 

Whether it’s worth it depends on your personal goals and financial situation.

Anything under 12.5k sqft I’ve found that the fixed costs are too much to achieve that 35%.40,000sf: This is just a personal rule of thumb where currently I’m trying to stay away from the spaces where the institutional players are operating (if I can).

I personally have not used that data yet, but it is integrated with batch so you dont have to use 2 different systems. 

.- Continual market analysis to keep your prices neither too high or too low- For software, you'll need a PMS, some system for tracking operations tasks (we use Breezeway), communications tools for internal and external (we use Slack and OpenPhone, respectively)- The decision to self manage or outsource is a very personal one.

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.

Nothing revelatory here - personal finance is personal.

However, the tenant started missing rents but it seemed like she was going through some personal issues so I let her stay.

There's < 2 months of seasoning for the purchase, cash into the deal is ~$975k w/o rehab (minimal planned so far - turnkey), purchased the property for 35-40% below assessed value, 825+ FICO, and would optimally like to pull out $975K-$1.15M of equity.Main scenarios we've thought of to accomplish this are: 1) structure sale of property from SMLLC to self and secure 30-year new purchase financing on deal (unsure if legal and tax implications if above initial cost basis)2) delayed financing (LTV restrictions a concern)3) cash out refi (seasoning concerns)4) DSCR (seasoning and rate competitiveness concerns)5) one of the above plus a HELOC, personal loan, etc.?

Personally, I would have the tenant direct deposit the funds straight into your bank account so neither of you are paying fees.I recommend two accounts: checking and savings.
