HomeAway or Airbnb. Short term rental.

[Sal Zafar]

Hi All - I always wonder. Which one is better in terms of profit, putting house in Short-term and vacation rental or traditional long term tenant? I know there are few factors involved (if property is leveraged, maintenance etc etc) but in general if property is close to 1/2 a block from Lake (not a direct access), in Austin. Which route is better? I can do both. 
any feedback greatly appreciated.
