While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

If your goal is financial freedom, which is a long-term goal, not so much.Financial freedom is a long-term proposition, not a one-time event.

Really depends on what they are looking for as well as long term plans.

Are they meeting your long-term investment goals?

I primarily invest in buy and holds, but I do a little bit of everything including fix and flips, airbnb's, mid-term rentals, and wholesaling.

Hi @Rachelle BertumenI live and work in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area and personally own two long-term multifamily units in Reno.

These are not long-term rental properties, and our guests are traveling to the desert for vacation, not because they need a place to live for two nights on a weekend. 

However, after accounting for long-term capital gains tax and other expenses, you would be left with $150k which is important to budget and account for.

Half the team focuses on long term rental management and the other half focuses on short term.

It is in the area that has decent short-term rental rates based on airdna and what property managers are seeing.How much more in maintenance have you all noticed on a short-term rental versus a long-term rental?
