Buyers could look at a DSCR loan which does take into account the revenue from the rent but it doesn't count towards the value of the property.Now, buyers could look at a business loan of some kind but I am not sure they would qualify if it is only one property and even then, the value is mostly in the property and not the possible revenue. 

We live in Seacoast New Hampshire and would prefer to invest as locally as possible to start.

I’d recommend a local market if at all possible.

I added the possibility of fines for this after that incident.

If I find a deal on an area I would consider living when I move back I would like to be able to pull the trigger and possibly refinance into an owner-occupier loan once I move back to the US.  

My take is that a Host should be personally involved as much as possible.

Thinking G-RH-3 could be the best possibility.

You must not follow your instinct and attempt to invest as little as possible into the renovations thinking "If someone is willing to live in this neighborhood there is no way they have standards".
