Long term vs Short term

[Craig Blancato]

Hey everyone,

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times but I figured i'd throw the question out there and see everyones opinions. I currently live in Ga and I am looking to purchase my first rental property. I'm going back and forth trying to see what would be more profitable, a short term rental or a long term rental. If I were to purchase a short term rental it would be in Fl in areas such as Panama City Beach and Destin. If I were to go with a single family long term rental it would be in the northern Atl area. 

Please let me know your thoughts on both.

Thanks,
