Frequently Asked Questions
What occupancy rate should I use for Airbnb?
Market averages range from 50–75% depending on location and season. New listings often start lower. Research comparable properties on AirDNA or similar platforms for your specific market.
What expenses should I include?
Include cleaning fees, utilities, internet, supplies, platform fees (Airbnb takes 3%), property management, insurance, and maintenance. Short-term rentals have higher operating costs than long-term rentals.
Is Airbnb income higher than long-term rental?
Often yes, but not always. Higher nightly rates come with higher expenses, more management time, and seasonal vacancy risk. Compare net income, not gross revenue.
