@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

Going over maps of known repairs with contractors showed that there were a few houses where people tried to have piers installed and ran out of money before hitting stable soil, others in the hyper local area did have to go to 100+ ft.  

Great idea, but check your local regulations.

I'd check local zoning ordinances to see what is permitted. 

All are local to me in a non-vacation rental spot.

As I said, check with local banks and credit unions.

I would encourage you to find local REI meet-ups in your area.

I’m local and happy to connect if we can help. 

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed. 

I'm new to real estate investing and I'm looking to connect with local investors. thank you.
