I would be hounding the well drillers to get a cancellation spot ASAP.

Get your W-2 income up, and work on buying a spot that you can rent the rooms out, or a duplex you can rent the other side of. 

Could you find a spot with an ADU? 

@Greg H. these fake accounts are so obvious to spot. 

You can usually spot them by the old " My company is paying with a check story".

I have not had any direct contact with him, but the info on his site is typically spot-on and I link to it every now and again. 

Texas is in a challenging spot in terms of insurance.For instance, Foremost has not stopped insuring short-term rental properties overall but they may have in your area/Texas. 

Only exception is "blood or flood" emergencies (everything is an emergency to a tenant).3) whatever your tax professional recommends.4) Any way but NOT picking rent up or accepting cash - unless tenant direct deposits to your bank account.5) You'll want to improve your lease over time as you deal with tenant issues.

If our cleaner can't get the blood, makeup, etc. out, I don't know that it's worth it to try to get a refund from AirBnB for costs that are probably max $300 (extra cleaning & linens replacement).

Abel was correct in those spots.
