Can you allow people to rent it for events like weddings or grad parties?

We are looking to purchase a duplex in around 6 months after our wedding at which point we would live in one half while renting out the other half.

Like I said, this property will cash flow and seems to be a great investment BUT here's the thing..I have a full time job (making over $60k), my wife just lost her job due to covid but is pursuing wedding/event photography full time and we don't have too much in the bank for reserves.

We found a great turn key single family 15 minutes from Charlotte city center, nee HVAC and updated interior (floors, paint, appliances, carpet, new bath, etc).Like I said, this property will cash flow and seems to be a great investment BUT here's the thing..I have a full time job (making over $60k), my wife just lost her job due to covid but is pursuing wedding/event photography full time and we don't have too much in the bank for reserves.

Weddings were postponed, holidays disappeared.

We are looking to buy a home for ourselves by early 2022 (after our wedding) and I wanted to make it an opportunity to begin a portfolio of SFHs.

In trying to get creative in this market, I've been looking for mountainy locations with many nearby wedding venues with the idea to Airbnb a nice home nearby.

Because in that discussion, the tenant who doesn't make a living through the property is just a peasant serf expected to work the land for his lord or be whipped for laziness, give his his bride to his lord on his wedding night, and drop dead swinging a hoe or pickax in the lord's fields.

Curious about all of this because there may be a possibility of converting the barn to a wedding venue.

@Padric Lynch I'll be back for a wedding in March!
