It sounds like you already have or are looking for a very specific property type (studio or 1/1).

What specific questions are you looking to confirm? 

The sales process can also be very drawn out and tiring for themAnd for the sellers, and so they will present those offers from teams or investors they are sure can transact and try to filter out tire kickers.

It may be an obvious answer, but I wanted to hear about some specific examples where having a license helped more.

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house. 

Also my team is hosting an investor class next wednesday over the flipping process.

Start with the end in mind and have your "team" (lender and agent) help you build your network. 

Commercial Team at our bank says it's not eligible for commercial financing, conventional team saying it's more than 4 units, and does not qualifyTwo questions:1.)

I am running into the problem that most investors already have their teams built. 

While most municipalities do not possess an interative map as easy to use, once you famiarlize yourself with the base zoning districts that allow the 2-4 unit buildings, relying on the local zoning maps will help direct you to the specific areas within the municipality that possesses the proper zoning.
