Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Punaauia Airbnb took in CFPF 2,261,471 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CFPF 126,000 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 CFPF 236,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CFPF 186,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CFPF 141,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CFPF 108,000 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.
