Each option can generate good profits, but it\u2019s important to carefully evaluate all the variables. Here, I\u2019ll outline the advantages, disadvantages, estimated figures, and comparison models to help you understand what best suits your situation.What you need to know before decidingBefore diving into the numbers, it\u2019s important to consider:Local regulation: In Tel Aviv, court rulings and municipal policies sometimes require a special use permit or a business license for short-term rentals. Renting through Airbnb without meeting these requirements may be illegal.Taxation: All rental income must be reported to the Tax Authority; short-term rentals may be classified as business income, which is subject to relatively high tax rates.Additional expenses: Costs for maintenance, cleaning, marketing, furniture, electricity, water, etc., are significantly higher in short-term rentals.Variable occupancy: You won\u2019t always be able to keep the property fully booked throughout the year as you would with a long-term rental.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/nadlansky.co.il\/en\/airbnb-or-regular-monthly-rent-which-is-really-more-profitable-in-tel-aviv\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/nadlansky.co.il\/en\/airbnb-or-regular-monthly-rent-which-is-really-more-profitable-in-tel-aviv\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/nadlansky.co.il\/en\/airbnb-or-regular-monthly-rent-which-is-really-more-profitable-in-tel-aviv\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/nadlansky.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hotel-room-interior-with-bedroom-area-living-space-kitchen-scaled.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/nadlansky.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hotel-room-interior-with-bedroom-area-living-space-kitchen-scaled.jpg","width":2560,"height":1709,"caption":"Comfortable studio apartment design.
