If you want to be able to fly out, Calgary or Edmonton are your best bet. 

I would say your best bets is a gym as a tenant amenity or a community room that tenants can rent for family functions, parties, etc. 

Our limit is $750.

I bet no more than 5% of the population is in high fire risk areas.  

Probably best to look elsewhere accordingly, as the availability of properly zoned STRs is quite limited.   

Youre limited to whatever the max credit for your loan is.

60% LTV is not that low, particularly in a higher rate environment where the debt service coverage requirement (cash flow) is now limiting LTVs to 60-70% in many cases anyway.Separately, should be able to get a commercial loan with a rate in the 6s.

@Danielle DeCormisKey would be to find a DSCR lender that would allow for a second and then with that loan do you still meet dscr ratioA better bet would be to bring in an equity partner

We did a full remodel on the property, including but not limited to HVAC replacement, electrical panel upgrade and rewiring, and cosmetics.

When people express concerns about starting an Airbnb in smaller markets, it genuinely amuses me, as this experience has proven that success is not limited by location.
