Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Malalcahuello Airbnb took in CLP 10,363,145 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 600,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about CLP 1,160,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CLP 530,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CLP 650,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CLP 520,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
