the cleanup, marketing, and screening in between each temp renter wasn't worth it in my experience but it wouldnt hurt much when u have a property avail for rent, to try out a short term tenant and see how it goes

 Thanks, that makes sense. I appreciate that Account Closed Would it make a big difference if I had a third party handling that for me?

Hello everyone, I'm new to BP and from what I've read you guys are awesome and give great advice. I'd  like to ask a couple questions and hopefully you guys can help me out. In a couple of months I'll will have enough for a down payment on a nice "Manhattan" condo ranging from 300K-450K. Is it worth it  to get a tenant or do the airbnb thing? I know people that do it and they're beyond successful but I don't know their situation ( whether they're renting or  have a mortgage). Also if I can get the same result renting a nice apartment would I even need to purchase a condo for that reason?  I know they're cracking down in New York in regards to subletting and  airbnb period and that is another major concern. 

My second question is about" flipping homes" in NYC area (Northern NJ, NYC, Long Island , Westchester & lower Connecticut. With rents rising  and home purchases slowing, is it still profitable to flip property?  I know the area I live in is a special market but  is it that good ? Please help. Marty.
