He's a REI, so has skin in the game himself.

Same goes for my side projects naturally. 

Accredited investors have access to much higher quality passive investing opportunities (syndication/crowdfunding deals) then non-accredited investors (much more experienced sponsors, much more skin in the game, lower fees, etc.).The advantage of these types of deals over direct investing, is that they require no effort on the part of the investor.

Due to the tiny nature of the island, that seems unavoidable if I want to be close to base. 

Eric, thanks...that’s my concern... definitely don’t want to be in violation of fair housing, but from what I see on the HUD website, it doesn’t specifically spell out my reason  for  requiring higher monthly rent/deposit: The Fair Housing ActThe Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of:• Race or color• National Origin• Religion• Sex• Familial status (including children under the age of 18 living withparents or legal custodians; pregnant women and people securingcustody of children under 18)• Disability Nine people certainly equates to more wear and tear on the property and as much as I am all for “ The more the merrier”  I want to make sure that the tenant would be held responsible by having more skin in the game to compensate for the added wear and tear of such a large crew.

The down payment is "your skin in the game." 

If the underlying income producing activity is passive in nature, such as rent from real property, then there is no tax implication in the form of UBTI.
