Long term rental vs. Airbnb

[Kevin Andrews]

Currently renovating an up and down duplex in Denver.  Going to do a little house hacking and rent out the bottom unit (1/1).  Given the current rental market, trying to weigh my options between a long term rental vs. Airbnb.  Leaning towards an Airbnb given the significant rent that can be generated relative to a long term renter, but understand that vacany poses a big threat to potential cashflows.   Welcome thoughts on past experience in the Denver area in this situation.  Thanks!
