And keep in mind that BC has a high frequency of STR's that are really second homes with owners that are content to make just a little money by way of a lackluster property manager (who likely charges 30%), so I would be careful to not let some of the comparison properties discourage you.

if I was self managing, it would significantly help my cash flow but would require time and effort and my time is worth significantly more than what STR PMs charge. 

Be prepared to discuss with lenders how the property will be used and ensure your financial profiles demonstrate strong ability to manage the mortgage jointly.Hope this helps.

My wife and I have 4 long-term rental units and looking for a better way to manage/track expenses/income.

My insurers reimburse me for what I didn't use; it can take a few weeks for the check to come, but that's just cash flow management then.

I own and manage 14 single family homes, all occupied nearly 95% of the time (stable rental market in my area), and currently analyzing a deal and figured why not ask for more input from all of you!

**Time and Effort**: The buy and hold strategy is less time-intensive, allowing me to focus on managing and optimizing rental income rather than undertaking extensive renovations and refinancing processes.That being said, I am interested in trying the BRRRR method in the future.At the time of purchase, I lacked the skills and knowledge necessary to attempt the BRRRR method without exposing myself to risks I was not prepared for.Hope that answered your questions.
