Posting on Airbnb vs Home Away vs VRBO, etc.

[Jemini Patel]

Hi Everyone! I recently decided to rent out my apartment for extra cash and have been trying to figure out which platform to list on. 

Few questions:

1. How do you typically decide which rental platform (Airbnb, Home Away, VRBO, Trip Advisor, etc.) to list on? Or do you list your property on multiple sites?

2. If you list on multiple sites, is there an easy way to do this using a third party site/software or would I need to individually list on each site?

3. How do you determine the price to list your property at?

Thanks!
