The airline pays laundry and cleaning and I pick up the utilities, maintenance and lawn care.

I’m not sure if this has been posted here before, but wanted to briefly share this information we found out regarding FHA. As a military member we have exceptions to the normal occupancy rule. Check it out:

And qualifying for citizenship would mean he has a clean background.

I only have leather like living room furniture as well, less penetrating material, easier to sterilize and clean.

Editing to add we are a little more worried than usual (we would probably just run fans and a humidifier and clean up ourselves) but our forced hot air system comes from this basement and we have a newborn baby so really don’t want to be having mold coming through our air vents! 

I always allow for 3-5 days of vacancy because I need time to properly inspect, arrange for cleaning and repairs, etc.

Would we ever be able to have personal use on non-rented weekends or stop after a couple of years to turn the RV into personal property?

not enough deposit to cover rent, damage, cleaning, etc.  

To even consider before you start construction you would need an executed lease with a large non-refundable deposit upfront to show the tenant is serious and committed to the sight.If this tenant is not larger corporate but smaller individual or group there could be serious risk to building the project and then the tenant ends up falling out before taking occupancy.

My advice is fix it up as much as you can with as little money as you can (clean, repair, do yard work, make lipstick improvements, paint but don't paint yourself into another corner haha) and get out of this deal as soon as possible.
