Most reservations came through the PM website, then VRBO, then AirBnB.

This scenario requires a confluence of events:- Significantly Negative CF- Insufficient reserves relative to negative CF- Overpaying OR Market DeclineThe personal guarantee just opens the door to the damage from the above situation overrunning everything.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

or put all my properties in one account and then my subaccounts are for taxes, reserves, profit?

Remember that it takes a bit of cash to put a down payment, have capital reserves required by lenders, and rehab the property.

And yeah I am not opposed to the 80% ltv, just figured get the most I can possible to utilize it as best possible with cash reserves left over.

Partner with a friend to protect both interests, create an Operating Agreement, and focus on saving and preparing for the down payment and reserves.

What we do need is funds in reserves for any capex expenses in at least the first year. 

Yep, it's doable assume you qualify. depends on FICO, DSCR 1.00+ and I'd plan for at least 6 months of reserves.
