The older I get the less money I want to make.
And it's more I want less BS to deal with in my life.
My old house was on AirBnB - took it off and put it up for long-term rental.
Weekly complaints, city taxes, annoying my neighbors, etc...oy vey.
Just rented it out for long-term today. And as it turns out long-term rental makes more money! Go figure.
Chasing “more money” usually comes bundled with way more headaches. But every so often, you stumble on a move that gives you more cash and less BS at the same time. That’s what happens when you dump short-term chaos for long-term rentals.
The Psychology Behind It
Short-term rentals seduce you with big nightly rates, but they quietly bleed you with mental load. Long-term leases feel “boring,” yet they match how real humans want to live: stable, predictable, low-drama. When you value peace over hype, the long-term math suddenly looks a lot better.
Why long-term beats short-term (for most people)
- You trade weekly complaints, cleaning, and city nitpicking for one solid lease and predictable income.
- You stop running a 24/7 hospitality business and go back to being a landlord with boundaries and free time.
- You protect relationships with neighbors who hate the revolving door of strangers next door.
- You often net more money after fees, vacancies, and your time tax are actually counted.
Real-world proof
Noah Kagan pulled his old house off Airbnb, listed it as a long-term rental, killed the constant hassle, and ended up making more money anyway.
