Gross bookings per Lindau listing averaged €14,892 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Bayern average: €13,052), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Lindau listing brought in €3,240 in August, its best month, and €1,130 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lindau Airbnb took in €14,892 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €810 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 €1,340 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,210 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €920 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €700 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.

Permits
6% of the 54 active listings in Lindau display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Lindau.
