The other potential problem is the term of the proposed renter not sure exactly we are going to deal with their lease when it comes time to sell.  

Don't discount that.Real estate remains a valuable investment despite current challenges due to its tangible nature, long-term appreciation, and potential for consistent rental income.

I recently used it to generate custom images for my STR coaching Powerpoint material. 

You'll probably need a co-borrower and someone to gift the down payment.There's a Conventional loan (FNMA family opportunity loan) that allows your parents to purchase a home for you (and potentially roommates) to rent while you're still in college.

With the exception of 1 bedroom units, you basically have 2 options:-Oversized/commercial machines (potentially multiple sets)-Off site cleaning with clean spares on siteThe latter is almost always the most efficient and basically what hotels do at scale.

Currently my problem is too many potential deals not enough money.

Both cater to businesses with high transaction volumes and often customize services for clients who need frequent wires and robust credit options.Ultimately, your choice might depend on the frequency of foreign wires versus domestic ones and how much value you place on credit card perks.

Any sober living investors out there willing to let me pick their brain on how to underwrite a potential deal?

My question is this: How could we structure an arrangement that would make sense for both my potential partner and myself?

If properties in that area tend to appreciate more slowly, especially if you can't start renovations immediately, you may sit on that investment watching potential profits get eaten away at slowly as inflation passes appreciation.
