Profit
Is an Airbnb in Hillsdale Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hillsdale Airbnb took in $27,628 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,600 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 $2,690 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,090 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,770 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,380 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 Hillsdale's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hillsdale listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $225 adds about $2,260 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $285 a night or more, against a median of $225. 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 $2,550 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,450, against $1,860 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Hillsdale listings average 4.91 stars, and 75% 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 $3,850 a month, against $2,300 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Hillsdale?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Hillsdale?
None of the active Hillsdale listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Hillsdale?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hillsdale Airbnb grossed $27,628 in the 12 months to September 2026, 19% 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, $19,158 a year (about $1,600 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 $2,690 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
