The thing is short term rents really do pay that much more in some areas. There's an apartment in my building on Airbnb that brings in over €8k/mo. It has a minimum stay length of 14 days. It's booked (well, the calendar shows unavailable) until February next year. To rent a similar apartment long term would be around €1500/mo. With the difference you can easily pay taxes and could even hire someone full time to look after it for you.
