So, answer the first two questions and I will try to give you straight to a point answer, with no judgment or meddling in your personal affairs. 

It's the best way to test what you like and don't like in a low risk environment.Once you've done this, you'll probably have even more saved up and experience to make you more confident in choosing a direction.If you decide to just dive into one of these markets and strategies, I'd recommend focusing on your personality, goals (cash flow first or something else) and how much time you have.

I am not an attorney, so don't take this as legal advice, but I had a lender tell me that financing with a DSCR compliments holding a STR in an LLC for liability purposes.Financing an STR held in an LLC with a 2nd home mortgage that reports to your personal credit creates a hole in the corporate veil per se.On the other hand, financing an STR held in an LLC with a DSCR loan that is qualified only by the asset's income offers much more separation of personal and business liability.

This separation helps in maintaining clear financial records and simplifies tax reporting and financial management.Setting up an escrow account specifically for rental income within your LLC can offer several benefits:Financial Clarity: It separates rent payments from other operational expenses, making it easier to track income and expenses related to the rental property.Legal and Compliance: Helps in demonstrating that rental income is kept distinct from personal or other business funds, which can be important for legal and tax compliance purposes.Tenant Transparency: It provides transparency to tenants and other stakeholders regarding where rental payments are deposited and how they are managed.While it may not be a legal requirement in all cases, maintaining an escrow account specifically for rental income is a prudent practice that many experienced investors and landlords follow.
