Investors are always debating this: is it better to invest in Airbnb-style short-term rentals or stick with traditional long-term tenants? Both strategies can be profitable, but which one is the best play in 2025?

🎥 In this video, we break down:
🏡 Income potential – Which strategy generates more cash flow?
📊 Market data – The best cities for short-term rental investments
💰 Financing options – How to fund Airbnb properties vs. long-term rentals

Short-term rentals can bring in higher nightly rates, but come with more management and regulatory risks. Long-term rentals offer stable cash flow but may limit your income potential. Choosing the right strategy depends on your goals, location, and risk tolerance.
