Ive recently made the decision of getting into flipping.

An air bnb with less than 7 days raises to section 162 definition of a trade or business all day long though. 

However, if you are relying on appreciation and loan pay-down to make the deal "work," then it is probably a deal worth passing on.Most people would tell you that you should base your decision on cash flow only, and appreciation and loan pay down (especially appreciation) are icing on the cake.

absolutely but I bought mine a few years ago triplex 700 ft.² each unit one bedroom one bath Probably the best financial decision I’ve made 

I have experience with many trades.

To make a decision on the route to take, you have to do some homework first which entails, learning how much $$ you have/need for each, how much financing if any will you be qualified for, what's your level of expertise in either, will you have partners going in, do you have the team of qualified professionals for each.

Also make sure are the one making the decisions and not letting the tenants pick out the tiles and other stuff.
