Both long-term and short-term rentals have their pros and cons, especially here in San Antonio.Long-Term Rentals:- Stability: With long-term tenants, you have a more stable income and fewer turnover costs.- Less Management: Once a tenant is in place, there’s typically less day-to-day management required.- Consistency: In neighborhoods like Northwest and Northeast San Antonio, long-term rentals can offer consistent demand due to local schools and businesses.Short-Term Rentals:- Higher Potential Income: You can charge more per night, especially during peak tourist seasons.- Flexibility: If you want to use the property yourself occasionally, you have that option.- More Work: Managing a short-term rental requires more effort with frequent guest turnover and maintaining high standards for reviews.As for platforms, Airbnb is popular, but you might also consider VRBO or Booking.com for short-term rentals.
