These costs for most of the individuals are considered personal in nature (unless you have a RE portfolio that is run like a business; see below).

While that would be nice to build up a lot of money and save, however that would just push me back even further from starting my real estate future plans, careers, family, etc.

If you have to cancel on future Airbnb guests, so be it.

You will have to rewrite the contract.

Quote from @Polat Caglayan: What do professional investors think about Detroit's course and future? 

I have been working on creating more passive RE opportunities and have come across a unique equity financing structure.

Glad you laid it out there in writing, you're manifesting it!

On a 2M property you should be able to write off roughly 300-400k, so that would cut your real estate income down for years, but not your W2, because I don't think you would be able to claim RE professional status. 750 hrs and min 50% of your time.

We don't have kids (might in the future), my husband and I are young and healthy, have stable high-income full-time jobs, and just put in a lot of work to both properties so don't expect huge expenses in the near future.
