This strategy is great, but it fluctuates depending on the time of year, you probably won't live for free because it is more challenging since you are only Airbnbing a small space or basement unit.3) MTR - this is a good in between style of creative strategies since you can furnish a place nicely that would rent out on Airbnb but you want a long-term high quality tenant like a travel nurse or corporate rental that stay for 2-3 months vs. under 30 days for most Airbnbs.Combining strategies is the best way to go, ideally, you would find a house with a separate entrance or walkout basement, live upstairs in the one of the bedrooms, rent out the other upstairs rooms and STR/MTR/LTR the bottom unit.
