However, with my 1 short term rental I am struggling to remain confident that this is the right strategy as when something does happen it seems I lose at least a couple days with them dispatching and then following up.  

Welcome @Sartaj Ghai,Sounds like you are off to a good start and have the right long term mentality to go far with this!

I hope many others see this and understand why I post 100 X a week, never do business without a team in place that has a long-term mutual benefit. where in oh 

Home Paid in Full and will become a long-term rental.

I'm going to a new CPA this Friday who has extensive real estate experience so I'm hoping he will be able to advise me on the best/easiest software to utilize. 

Cause if you want to live in an A+ property, without roommates, in Denver proper, and only do a long-term tenant in a separate unit.... but also want to cashflow each month, that's not going to happen.  

I am committed to managing the project diligently, ensuring that every aspect of the rehabilitation process is executed with precision and efficiency.I am open to discussing various investment structures and terms that would be mutually beneficial. 

While reading your post I was thinking "sell the Cali properties", but with 3-4% interest rates (and I'm assuming those are long term fixed rates) you will be best off to cash out refi (non-tax event) and use those funds to buy multifamily.

So far i've received referrals for Cresset and Origin Investments but both are longer term developments with minimal cashflow for 4-5 years.

Unless you are local to the market, I would consider elsewhere.I think Charlotte long term is a great market, financial hub, good airport, population growth.I think if you commit to any of these markets, you will have successGino
