@James Enyeart best option is the one giving you the most control.So, see who consider a land contract or lease-to-own.

If this is going to be a investment home you will have a hard time getting a cash out refinance with most lenders as an invesment mobile home.

But in almost every case you'll be able to rent one side and the difference will be much less than you would have paid for a house of your own. 

However, the cost-effectiveness of such a mandate is highly questionable, and the resources required for compliance may be better spent elsewhere.

There are some things going on you will want to be careful of, Daytona has banned STR in many areas and the Condos...special assessments for certain ages and styles after the Miami incident have made a lot of them unaffordable.

I will say that @Collin Hays is right.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

Check out the STR forum where you'll find some great information and will see questions and answers from those who have successfully scaled STR businesses. 

If you and your fiance are willing to make a couple moves and remodels you could put yourself in a very strong cash position.
