I mention this because I am in Florida and we have had a record year with STR/Air/BNB rentals. 

There are some exceptions.You don’t get basis out of the thin air.

Active Duty Air Force here.One way you can pull this off is like you said, getting a multifamily property and renting out.

Open houses weren’t allowed, Florida was under a shelter-in-place order, and the spring selling season vanished into thin air.

One bedroom upstairs needs skim coat.Window Repair - Two double-pane windows that do not close all the way (slight gaps in the corners which leaks air).Hardwood floor refinishing - approximately 480sqft, one small section will need replacement.Thank you for your comments!
