I would love to connect with anyone who would like to offer advice or is at a similar experience level in the area!

@James Bruntfield the blanket loans that most banks offer normally have a higher loan amount than what these properties would qualify for.  

While I've done some research on the topic, I feel that hearing from those with firsthand experience could provide invaluable insights.From what I gather, co-hosting involves assisting Airbnb hosts with various tasks, ranging from guest communication and check-ins to cleaning and maintenance.

If you truly want professional advise to confirm what the other forum is telling you, or to assist with your own research, I would suggest paying for a consultation with a CPA rather than relying on that of a free/public forum. 

Many DSCR loan products offered do not have a seasoning requirement.

HMLs enable quick acquisition leverage which is essential in competitive markets, and offer flexible qualification criteria, focusing on the property's potential. 

Again, the key thing to look for is not the direct booking site itself, but the level of Integrated messaging, contacts management, and/or third party CRM integration they offer.
