@Megan Alanhello. house hacking is a powerful strategy. in an ideal house hack you would:-pay roughly the same that you'd pay in rent, net to the mortgage. 

Know that the market you're serving does exist, and is like an underlying current that's being held back by walled garden that the government has only recently scrutinize.Zillow, Redfin and Trulia has all attempted at disintermediation and increase market efficiency, but failed due to the market powers that maybe. 

I am confident that “Drill Baby Drill” (aka reducing the price of oil, aka reducing everything that is transported) will directly impact the cost of goods thus increasing tenants and buyers purchasing power.

Each unit is individually metered for power and water. 

Most importantly, China and India (and Asia in general) are in the process of taking over as the world's main economic powers and the reality is we can't compete against their cheap labour. 

Other campsites are truly primitive with no amenities at all in terms of water/power/sewer. 

Perhaps you can equity strip and refi to keep equity exposure to $1M, but these are considerations worth having now if you have the purchasing power you’re suggesting.

It's legal for passive investors to have voting rights and power in the deal. 

If there is currently ceramic on the exiting floor, either remove it or scuff it up with a grinder to provide some 'tooth' for the compound to adhere to.These steps take a bit more effort, but the end result will look better and last WAY longer.Good luck!

Hostaway seems interesting as potentially something with the power of Ownerrez but without the challenging interface and complexity.
