Rental Strategies

There are two main rental strategies in real estate investing: the traditional rental strategy and the short-term rental strategy. The traditional strategy, also known as the long-term rental strategy, is when a real estate investor buys a rental property and rents it out to a tenant for long periods of time- typically 6 months or more. This allows for a more consistent and stable rental income and rental property management is less hands-on. The short-term strategy, also known as the Airbnb rental strategy, is when a real estate investor buys a rental property and rents it out to guests anywhere from 1 night up to a few months. Even though the rental income is less consistent, Mashvisor’s data shows that Airbnb investment property usually brings a higher return on investment. This is because investors can charge more per night with Airbnb rentals. But which one is right for you: an Airbnb investment vs a Traditional investment? Keep reading Mashvisor’s blogs to decide.
