Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sheikh Kot Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Sheikh Kot Airbnb took in Rs 160,967 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about Rs 22,700 a month after running costs.
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.
