Find out the latest factors in the current investment landscape.
In our previous post, we delved into the financial aspects of investing. Today, let’s shift our focus to the practical side of investing, primarily in residential real estate. We’ll explore short-term and long-term investment strategies and discuss their nuances.
Short-term investments, like Airbnb properties, have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years. The pandemic intensified this trend, as many people turned to these properties for getaways and work-from-home alternatives. However, it’s crucial to approach this strategy with caution.
In some markets, like Phoenix, there’s been an oversupply of Airbnb and VRBO properties. As a result, the competition has grown fierce, leading to reduced profits. Locations such as Prescott and Sedona have also felt the impact of the supply and demand imbalance. Therefore, when considering these properties, it’s essential to develop a well-thought-out strategy.
Dabbling in short-term investments without a clear plan can be risky, especially in a saturated market. To make the most of these opportunities, be diligent in your research and consider the unique dynamics of your chosen location.

On the flip side, long-term residential rentals have long been a staple of the Prescott area. Investors here have enjoyed the benefits of stability and property appreciation. Even though rental income might not always be as high as short-term rentals, the steady growth in property values has been a compelling draw for investors.
Tax incentives and strategies have further bolstered the appeal of long-term rentals in the past few years. For example, conducting a cost segregation study on a rental property can allow for accelerated depreciation, providing attractive tax advantages. This has enticed many individuals to enter the world of real estate investing.
However, it’s important to note that tax benefits for these types of properties are gradually decreasing. The time to act is now. If you’re considering investing in long-term residential rentals, understanding these changes is crucial for making informed decisions.
