If you’re someone with a second home looking to make extra cash, you might be facing a win-win situation. The vacation rental industry is quickly rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic, while the long-term rental marketcontinues to see double-digit growth.

But, in the long run, the question remains which option offers the best return on your investment: the short-term rental market (e.g., Airbnb) or the long-term rental market (i.e., tenants who sign a lease).
