I got the idea to do long term rental and short term rental in same building based on my experience staying at a couple air b n b properties while traveling, and saw the owners doing this with their properties.

In all of these, I installed a “downdraft bubble” or block cold air from infiltrating through the chimney and I have had no issues.  

.*)I'd recommend looking for a townhouse, row home, SFH, etc. that will allow you to have a mother-in-law suite in the basement or elsewhere, that you can add a wet bar and some smaller appliances for a renter (a range + stove can be tough permit-wise, but think air fryer, really nice combo small countertop convection oven, etc).

With San Jose, I know if you're living in the home they'll allow you to air b&b/STR it for the whole year, but if you weren't living in it, you're only allowed to air b&b it for 6 months out of the year.

I'll get straight to it: Property Details:Ranch style duplex, 1800 sqft, 7500 sqft lotBuilt in 1960Both tenants are staying and have been there since 2017 (month to month now) Roof, furnaces, hot water tanks, central air, and waterproofed basement in 2014It will be bringing in about $180 a month in net cash flow (after paying a property manager, taxes, insurance etc.).

It’s in a pretty good location if we need to do Air Bnb, though I might need to do more research on that.

Air Force, then Air Force Reserves here.

Caution the tenant to not have any candles burning or spray air freshener to cover up smells.

However; I am also considering buying a house or two somewhat local and listing them on air bnb.
