We stay +95% booked where folks may ask to rent a few days out vs months out on LTRs. 

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

You need to know how to analyze property and then systematically evaluate property on a daily or weekly basis to stay on top of the market. 

You could live in one unit and rent out the others to offset your mortgage, staying within your $4,500/month affordability limit.

Get out of your comfort zone.

Even if you have a good framework, it's much harder to manage virtually and stay on track.

We offered our impacted tenants a hotel room while we were awaiting repairs, but both tenants decided it was easier to stay put. 

You don’t have a large enough portfolio of houses for a lender to feel comfortable without a personal guarantee. 

I currently own a few properties here in Bryan-College Station, I have a full time sales job so try to stay as passive as possible. 

Staying involved in a business partnership while dissolving the marriage will rarely work.If you split the properties, I recommend hiring a good property manager.
