In summary I’m a huge advocate of owning BTC as long as you are looking to hold it, have the stomach to withstand the volatility, and have free cash flow to invest in it.

In Arizona, for example, STR owners generally aren't required to have a liquor license if they're providing a bottle of wine as a "gift," as long as you're not selling it or charging for it.

As long as the property is claimed as self-managed you should be good.

Also, to make your money go farther, cutting down closing costs is a great way to do that, We can help with that, which is why we offer 1 point Origination Fix and Flip loans.Is sounds like you already have a portfolio, you may want to look at refinancing your existing portfolio to free up cash for future purchases, the buyer's market is only going to last so long as these interest rates are being cut.

I can't see how a partner would hurt how much you qualify for as long as they have an income and better than horrible credit.  

That's fine as long as you are okay with it.I don't really care because I'm not in your market.

Recording it in September or October will not make any difference on your trying to get a feel for your monthly cash flow, as long as you are consistent in the way you do it.

With DSCR loans, you can continue scaling your portfolio as long as the properties generate enough income to cover the loan payments, which supports long-term growth.3.

If you have a few rentals under your belt out of state and are familiar with how your team operates then I would dive into doing some value add deals as long as it's not down to the studs. 

Beyond that, there is very little to worry about in terms of "off hours" emergencies so long as you are proactive with maintenance.
