I am from Buffalo, NY and will be moving to Charleston shortly. 

Strategy 1: buy a duplex, live in one unit (for one year as a "primary residence) and rent out another unit as a short-term / mid-term rental on Airbnb.

I’m exploring a few options and would love to hear your thoughts on each:Airbnb Rentals: Is short-term rental still a profitable and sustainable option given current regulations?

Rent would probably be a short term nightly basis. 

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.

I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with or can recommend paid mentorship programs or coaches for small multifamily unit investing (2-4 units).In my research, I’ve found that most mentorship programs or resources I come across are geared toward large syndication apartment building purchases or other types of investments, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, single-family homes, Section 8, or fix-and-flip projects.

Quote from @Nicholas McCormick: Howdy-Does anyone have any experience with short term rentals in the Bloomington, Indiana area?

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.In the 1.21 acres there is a main single family home (4 br) which was divided in two sections one of which is being rented.

BRRRR: Rehab, rent, and refinance to pull out equity while maintaining long-term cash flow.Flip: Sell post-renovation at ARV for a profitable exit.Rental: Convert into a long-term rental or explore short-term rental potential for higher cash flow.I’m currently evaluating the best approach and open to insights from investors experienced in commercial conversions, BRRRR, and Tulsa’s local market.
