Short term rental vs flipping with $20 000

[Festus Edward]

Hello All, I hope you all had a great week and enjoying your weekend. So I got into a discussion with a fellow at the air port on my way back from NY and wanted to get your thoughts on the question. Basically, this fellow told me he had saved up $20,000 and wanted my advise on whether he should invest in short term rentals like air bnb vs flipping. I wasn't sure what advise to give because he talked about renting two apartment units and listing it on air bnb and other short term rental portal. Your inputs are appreciated. Thanks, Festus
