Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Flint?

Gross bookings per Flint listing averaged $10,339 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Michigan average: $34,144), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Flint listing brings in $2,050 in July, its best month, and $1,120 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,570+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,020 or more, roughly $890 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,130 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $568 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

July earns about 1.8 times what April does

Flint Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Flint Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Flint Airbnb took in $10,339 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $570 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 $1,020 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,070 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $650 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $490 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Flint's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Flint listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $89 adds about $886 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $185 a night or more, against a median of $89. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $930 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,050, against $1,120 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Flint listings average 4.66 stars, and 16% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about $1,540 a month, against $860 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Flint?

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 83%+ of open nights, 44 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 62% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 39% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 20% or less, under two nights a week.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Flint?

The average nightly rate in Flint, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $113 over the past year, about 65% below the Michigan and U.S. averages ($325 and $320). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about $135 and bottom out in September and November at about $120.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.3 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $245+ a night, about 2.8 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $185 or more, about $95 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $89 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $57 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $113 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Flint?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Flint it averaged $44 over the past year, from about $37 in a typical April to about $66 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $105+ per open night, about 2.8 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $54 or more, about $17 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $37 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $21 or less, about 57% of the median.

July RevPAR is about 1.8 times April's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Flint

None of the 49 active listings in Flint display a registration, permit or license number. That 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 occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Flint.

Is Airbnb profitable in Flint?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Flint Airbnb grossed $10,339 in the 12 months to September 2026, 70% below the Michigan average of $34,144. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $6,789 a year (about $570 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,020 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
