Rents have increased and cashflow deals still exist!

Some hybrid models exist, @Brooke Roeder mentioned Mynd and I have had several client use that with good success.  

rezoning is not feasible, it's very costly. if it's zoning a 2 unit then you are in a so called pre-existing non-conforming, check the floor area ratio if you are already over then there is not much you can do, however if you your FAR is below then there are potential opportunities for the garden unit considering the newly passed ordinance.

If my goal is to rehab up to market standards and therefore market rent; how or is it possible to not kick out existing tenants as l am taking over as the new owner of a multifamily property?

I'm wondering if HELOCs exist (nowadays) for owner-occupied multi-family properties. 

Meaning all Airbnb which existed before they made the rules all can legally continue.It's Charleston.

Depending on location, I believe $100k properties do exist in the market, depending on the location.

He does not have a license.It would help to maintain continuity with the existing tenants, one of which has been in the property for over 20 years if I kept him as my local "Maintenance Coordinator".
