On paper — yes. In reality, it concentrates both financial and asset risk.
With one long-term tenant, income stops if payments are delayed or the tenant leaves early. At the same time, the apartment is used continuously for months without regular inspections, meaning issues and damage are often discovered too late. In practice, long-term rent leads to higher wear and tear due to the absence of professional cleaning, routine inspections, and proactive maintenance.
Short-term rental spreads risk across many prepaid stays, with the property cleaned, inspected, and documented after every guest.
You are not managing people — you are protecting and operating an asset.
