Hi Brittney, I'm in west central FL and do not have STR, only LTR. 

I too have been looking for property in Holmes county (to put a STR on) but you really seem to need a connection with someone, prices are crazy.

Municipalities don't ban STR on a per lot basis.

We did shift our STRs to LTR during the school year, STR only in summer. 

To add my 2 cents on your last question a duplex with a LTR on one side and STR on the other may be problematic to your LT side.

Account Closed  Always have exit paths available, it's great if it cash flows as an STR (on paper) but the true test is if it will still break even as a long term rental if you have to convert for some reason (COVID, STR regulations, etc.). 

You could try doing a STR on one of the units if you absolutely want to try it and still have some steady and predictable income from the other LTR unit/s.

The home and STR on the property would be managed by my partner..thoughts? 

I own STR on the island and also live in LC.
