Profit
Is an Airbnb in Little Traverse Township Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Little Traverse Township Airbnb took in $36,174 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,840 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 $3,130 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,790 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,240 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,580 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Little Traverse Township listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $315 adds about $3,150 in bookings.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $9,370, against $2,140 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
