We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

For example in many jurisdictions I can STR units in a duplex but cannot STR an ADU (some jurisdictions will let you STR if you owner occupy).

Quote from @Tyler Graber: So May 2023 I bought my first duplex and house hacked for a year now I rent out both units.

If you haven't already, you should research the stats on Furnished Finder to see how many people are looking for a midterm rental, how many units are currently available and the configuration and prices hosts are offering.

Exclude any units that are out of your league and focus on similar comps. 

I’d like to start off by house hacking a multi-family unit. 

For example:-A tenant complained about the AC not cooling, so I replaced the entire unit with brand-new equipment.

Mixed-use properties that integrate residential units, co-working spaces, and retail areas with sustainable design elements are particularly appealing.

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

Just get on Airbnb and see who are the property managers doing most of the units in the area and search for them on google.
