I travel to the RRG often for outdoor activities I enjoy.

Quote from @Himateja Madala: @John Underwood with 6bed/6 bath I am targeting more multi family travelers who prefer staying together.

As far as property management goes, I figured it might be best (in my particular situation) to start with a property manager since I will be travelling for work for most of next year and it would be better to have someone local to handle things for me?  

My team and I are traveling next week to meet contractors; look at land for hotel development on the beach side. 

We target insurance and corporate bookings as well as travel medical professional agencies. 

It’s unlikely to provide the immediate tax write-off you're envisioning.I’d recommend consulting a CPA to clarify your situation, especially if you’re splitting usage between personal and rental.

The system must be large enough to meet the building's annual electricity usage. 

Most often, when this is discussed, it is suggested that using a line of credit - HELOC or otherwise - to receive your regular payroll deposits is the favored usage.

From what I’m seeing, people are still traveling and making plans, especially for vacation rentals in desirable areas.

Some strategies to lessen the negative cash flow are: house hack and rent out the other unit as a mid-term rental (to traveling professionals or for people temporarily displaced because of insurance reasons like fire) or short-term rental (business or vacation).
