House Hacking Converted Basement - LTR or STR?

New member to the BP community looking to buy in the Norfolk VA area and looking for any insight from other investors in the area. Specifically, I'm hoping to turn the basement of a split level ranch into a studio or 1 bed 1 bath apartment that could ideally be rented on Furnished Finder or on AirBnB. The issue I'm running into is I can't seem to figure out if Norfolk VA allows renting out just a part of your home, while the owner occupies the rest. I know Norfolk allows "homestays" of less than 30 days, but what if the renter stays longer than 30 days? If anyone's implemented a househacking strategy like this, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
