Airbnb is a prominent frontrunner in tourist bookings, driven by the growing desire of individuals to experience a destination as a local resident. Introducing a short term rental option on your property presents a seamless opportunity to generate a passive income, offering a convenient and straightforward avenue for financial gains.
Do I actually make a profit?
One of the significant expenses typically associated with operating a short term rental is the mortgage or lease payments, which can consume approximately 32% of the overall expenses. Nevertheless, with Hewing Haus, our Pender 3 (300 SQFT) home can be entirely paid off within three years, thanks to the ability to offset the cost using the short term rental income. This ensures a swift and efficient return on investment, leading to enhanced profitability in the long run.
