Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mecosta Township Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mecosta Township Airbnb took in $17,052 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $980 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 $2,060 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,140 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $850 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.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $215 a night or more, against a median of $165.

For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $1,520 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $4,070, against $1,280 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Mecosta Township listings average 4.90 stars, and 50% 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 $2,950 a month, against $1,420 for the average one.
