I don't need to monetize the basement to make this deal work, but based on the location, it would be great for AirBNB, so I want to find a way. 

I wanted an asset that could provide a convenient vacation option for the family that could also be monetized to reduce the carrying costs.

Took us 6 weeks to find a place to rent, multiple times after exhausting all available options and waiting for new properties to come onto market.The directions I would like to pursue are either:1) Buy 2 short rental type apartments (think AirBnB) which are very common on the market but kind of impractical layout for permanent tenants (hard to rent out to tenant)2) Buy 1 house in a highly rated tourist region to maximize throughput and monetization (think AirBnB)3) Buy 1 house in a relatively nice neighborhood for rental to permanent tenant I will not landlord.
