The short term rentals rates are at a premium in this location and I am trying to determine the best investment option as someone new looking to renovate with the above options and rent either half or all of the unit.

Solid cap. rate on the property and was eager to see the deal through (never be an emotional buyer, I didn't follow my logic).

I'm all ears 🙂  also, what's a good rule of thumb for coming up with a good rate to charge.

What amount of depreciation recapture do you anticipate paying at ordinary rates?

I don't recommend the Midwest unless you do Class A or B, which will not positive cash flow with long term rentals (maybe MTR or STR depending on location) at current 7% interest rates.

It all depends upon the total cost of construction, based on that your monthly fixed cost/mortgage will come into picture.You cannot rent too far from market rate, essentially you should have some spread between mortgage(construction cost) and rent to cover for cashflow, vacancy etc.I would suggest you to keep the selling it out as your second exit strategy if renting is your first one. in that case your construction cost + selling cost cannot be more than market price of new construction.You can also try to reach out to developers to give them a piece of the pie but then you will have to sell for sure.

I told them I didn't want to do the consortium deal, so they offered me another one where I would need to pay a 30k USD down payment and have an EIGHT PERCENT INTEREST RATE.

The individual owner of a seller financed mortgage enjoys a notable advantage over a traditional financial institutions, direct one on one negotiation capability with the borrower. its an advantage for negotiating new terms, adjusting interest rates, and addressing unforeseen issues.We have heard that this is a way for the owner to avoid "Capital gains"?

It's not just another CRM or social network; it’s a solution for the clutter, spam, and the overwhelming volume of unqualified or irrelevant interactions that professionals like us often encounter.The key issues with current options are well-known: the disorganization on social networks, the low response rates on professional platforms, the complicated navigation and mismatched intentions on real estate forums, and even the overpriced 'expert' communities that deliver little value.
