Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average San José Airbnb took in €14,186 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €820 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 €1,260 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €680 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €880 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €710 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
82% of the 50 active listings in San José display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what local rules allow: it can't show whether new permits are still issued, or whether limits on nights, zones or property types apply.
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 San José.
