However, I am seeing posts here that many people utilize their short-term rentals for RE status by using Schedule E.

I would caution against getting a partner, there are some real downsides no matter who it is, I’ve been through it with great people and it can be difficult to manage two visions.

@Dan Bowe - The truth it, you need real life experience prior to taking other people's money.

A lot of people have fallen asleep at the wheel when it comes to that issue and the risk is that, once people realize how bad it is, they will stampede out of the market and there might not be buyers at any price.

Contractors can be some of the least reliable people on the planet - no offense to the good one (singular) reading this.  

Too many people want to go out of city of state because they are chasing the 'better' returns.

I have several rentals, but just listed one that I am managing myself and I am overwhelmed by the number of people who are calling about Section 8 housing.
